Just tried it on my wife's system.  With her, I'm running at
1024x768 at 75Hz, "medium" detail and 4x4 anti-aliasing.  She's pretty
close to my frame rate with those settings.

She has an Athlon XP2600+, to my Athlon64 3200+.
1GB DDR266 (PC2100) to my 1GB DDR400 (PC3200), both lackluster timing.
GeForce 6800GT 256MB DDR3 AGP to my GeForce 7800GTX 256MB DDR3 PCIe.
