I have settings ALMOST completely maxed out and now play the game
smoothly in 1280x1024. Even in 1600x1200, it was smoother than my
#2PC with the GF-5900 and a slighly slower CPU.

My ATI9800 is on the AMD2500+ (Nothing overclocked)

You know, I've never understood this adversion to top-posting. I don't
know about others, but when I'm reading the 55th message in a thread,
(having just read the 54th), why should I need to scroll down thru
everything I just read in the last message to get to what the 55th
poster said?? In top-posting, it's right there - I can read it and move
on to 56. Anyway, no matter what the "policically correct" way is to
post, somebody's gonna do it the other way, so why don't we just give in
and realize that Eutopia is a long way off?

I have never understood it either... )
