I've got a P4-3.2HT/800/512kb L2 with an 875P chipset and ICH5R South Bridge
that supports my 500 Gb SATA RAID 0 hard drive set up.  I have 4 x 512
PC3200 at DDR400 dual channel.  The GPU is a Radeon 9800 XT 256 Mb.  I'm
also using a 20" flat-screen monitor (Dell 2001FP) with a 16-ms response
time (and I can happily report that even Doom3 doesn't suffer any response
time issues with this monitor).

Anyway, I need to run the timedemo tonight, but using FRAPS I've been
monitoring my fps and I've been able to run Ultra quality at 124x768 with no
AA and get 65-70 fps.  All advanced are on except vsync.  I tried 4x AA and
the fps dropped in the toilet to about 25.

After reading through those tweaks that you gave the link to McG, it looks
like I might be able to boost the fps over 100 if I drop down to High
quality, but I wonder if the compression will change the game's "feel"
enough to make it noticeable.  I'm sure having 60+ fps is just fine, anyway.

I'll repost after I run the timedemo tonight.
