Just a comment on the performance, I’ve been playing some of the game on the following PC - PIII 1.4GHz, Radeon 8500, Audigy 1, 256MB - and found the performance to be completely acceptable. A couple of frame drops here and there, nothing of consequence. I can’t speak for later in the game, perhaps with more action on screen it would be more of a challenge.

From what I remember, Shadows of Amn content should be fine for the most part. But you may encounter stutter in some of the more crowded areas of the Throne of Bhaal expansion. The battle with the fire giant's army comes to mind, as do the deeper levels of Watcher's Keep.

Also, the expansion pack introduced an "automated speed adjustment" mechanic which lowers visual quality whenever the game begins to slow down.

Make sure this is turned off if you want to have the best visuals at all times.

P.S.

The EAX occlusion behavior that I mentioned earlier is now documented here with some audio recordings.
