Never heard of that software before. Getting photos in shouldn't be difficult, in G2 you can user the add From Local Server method, in G3 you can use the Server Add module:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_to_Add_Items <-- G2
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:serveradd <-- G3
However, for the comments, titles, descriptions, user accounts, etc it's going to be much more work, you'll need to write some sort of module or something. Gallery (our software) doesn't have a forum so you'd have to use something else that integrates with Gallery. G2 right now is the only one that will work with that. G3 doesn't yet have an API that's complete that will let other applications integrate with it. That won't be done until 3.1 and we're still working on 3.0.
Take a look at the work a few people have done with the Coppermine to G2 modules, it looks like there are 2 projects, 1 of which I think is better than the other, but I'm not sure. I've never used either one of them.

http://www.care2.com/ <- these guys use a customized version of G2 hosting millions of images and 100,000s of users, er millions of users now.
You need a lot of hardware to do that though. If interested in more, search the forums:
Here's one older post: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/77514
As for integrating with that software, I think you're going to need to get your hand dirty and create a solution for that, or I see you've found a thread about using an older version of that software.

just now we are running one server xeon quad 2ghz with 4gb rams and 2 arrays of raid, raid5 for application and raid 10 for db only. software used is nginx and php in fast cgi mode
with the 300 users online in the gallery mysql server is dying.
Do You know something about hardware needed to handle such big gallery?

Nope, sorry. But it does sounds like some tweaking and tuning needs to be done as I've seen at least as busy sites run on less:

I'd take a look at using some sort of caching. Possibly using Nginx as the front end to serve static content and pass requests off to Apache. I've only looked into and read about such a configuration, but it sounds like you could potentially reduce server load that way. I'm interested in it because I have a pretty load end (in terms of resources) VPS that I'm moving my sites to.

We are using nginx all the time, not only for static files and till ipb3 it worked perfectly but now ith ipb3 it stopped

Sounds like you need to hit the forums for ipb3 and see what changed and why the new version isn't nearly as efficient as the old version.
