January 5, 200818 yr You should be able to get a mixture of High and Ultra High settings (excluding traffic, I would keep mine at low-medium low). With SP1 installed, you should be able to move most of the scenery sliders high (but keep LOD radius at medium). Graphics should not at all be a problem, that's a very good video card. Note that you probably won't be able to max out every single slider, but by experimenting, you can get a mixture of good performance and a good looking world.By the way, have you looked into overclocking? It can make a world of difference.

January 6, 200818 yr Yeah, I've heard of people push a Core 2 Quad to 3.6 GHz, but I think that's with better cooling. 3.2 is still pretty good. I want to overclock the RAM and video card to when I get my new system.
