Mine is similar to yours, but with 2GB of the same RAM, GeForce 6800GT,
and a WD 80GB PATA HD; I've been playing it with the Ultra graphics settings
at 1024x768, with average 50-60fps. I could go higher on the resolution, but
it wouldn't always be as smooth-playing, and it just looks great at this res,
anyway.
