He's doing something else wrong, then.
I've seen the game run very smoothly on two very similar systems.

Please feel free to enlighten me, I'd be more than happy to get it running for him, the only problem is the unsupported 7300 that I can see.

I'm not sure, but my gut is to suggest driver updates.

I have been researching this a bit and it seems that it arbitrarily requires the card. I honestly do not believe it actually needs the card. This either means:

1) The coders were lazy with the port.

2) It's some stupid backdoor deal with Nvidia to force people to upgrade.

In the case of both 1 & 2, well... considering the outrage the high requirements have generated, I am hopeful that fans will create patches and such that will allow a greater variety of cards to play on it. Either that or it's patched by the company. Again, it plays on the PS2; it should be able to play like on a 4400 at the very least for "Low" settings.

I've been contemplating buying this. I never played it much until my ex girlfriend bought it and we used to play it together. We split and now I don't have any next gen consoles.

AMD 3000+
1.25 GB RAM (DDR 800)
Nvidia 6600 (256mb) (AGP)
XP Pro

Is the game going to kick my ass? Can I not turn it to a lower graphic setting or anything? I know I'm well below the requirements but I can't seem to figure out why I shouldn't be able to play such a simple game.

One thing about the PC version of Guitar Hero III that makes it potentially more difficult than its console brethren is the generally slothful performance the game can turn in. The steep minimum system requirements include a 2.8 GHz dual-core processor, a gig of RAM (2 gigs if you're running Vista), and either a Radeon X800 or Geforce 7600 video card to run. On the two systems we tested, which both exceeded these statistics, we still ran into some general sluggishness with the game. The 360 and PS3 versions of Guitar Hero III had some notable frame rate issues, but nothing quite like this. Notes will sometimes seem to be behind the music, and it's not uncommon to see notes just skip on down the fretboard to catch back up. For a rhythm game this is a killer, since precise timing is needed for success. The Vista machine we tested on displayed issues like this only on a very infrequent basis, and with a bit of lag calibration, it mostly ran quite well. However, the XP machine we used (which included a Pentium D 3.40 GHz dual-core processor, a gig of RAM, and a Geforce 7800 GTX video card) became practically unplayable in spots, even with all the graphical effects turned to low and the crowd graphics turned off. If your machine can run it fine, the game plays great, but if you run into these issues, you're going to end up frustrated.

And this is why I stick to older games =P That does seem pretty horrific, I do believe that eventually a user created patch will come out, it always does, yay for nerds!

Oh I'm sure there will and I'm sure some crazy guy out there will release something that makes the graphics even higher quality. Some people scare me like that.
