    AMD Dual core @2.6GHz (each); WinNT (OEM Vista 32 bit); ATI Radeon X1650 SE; 2 GB RAM.

    Maxed everything out, at a resolution of 1900x1200. Only a slight bit of lag -- usually full stack vs. full stack; or in (larger) cities.

    M2TW battles with everything maxed out have a noticeable amount of lag though, even in smaller battles.

    While my current computer is pretty good, I reckon my games have always run better than my hardware would suggest, due to the fact that I tend to have fairly small monitors, meaning comparatively low resolutions... I typically used 1024x768 for both games and general operations (things like desktop and Internet) on the XP I used to use and now on the Vista I'm currently using I typically run my games on 1280x1024 and general ops on 1024x768 (any higher I get this strange phenomenon where it seems to take forever to move the mouse across the screen (though strangely this doesn't happen with my games)).

    Anyway, currently I can run M2TW with everything maxed out and 1280x1024 resolution. My specs are as follows...

    Core: Intel Core 2 6400 (2 x 2.13 GHz)

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS (this one's actually from NVIDIA istelf, as opposed to the NVIDIA cards produced by other companies on NVIDIA's behalf (Sparkle, etc.))

    Ram: 3 GB

    System type: 32-bit

    Monitor: ViewSonic VA720 (17 inch)

    I can also run Company of Heroes with everything maxed out...

    I have a single core processor (of the last generation),1 gig of RAM, and a 128 meg standard issue no name "came with the computer" graphics chip. I cannot run most of the games that came out in the year that I bought my computer (2006, e.g. oblivion) but I can run EB on large settings with no lag, and I run MTW2 mods with some noticeable lag in battles. Someday I will convince my wife that yearly computer upgrades are a necessity of modern life, but until then I am stuck on a three year schedule...

    I need to buy another gig of ram sometime to support my current 1 gig of ram. Maybe a better videocard, too. As of now, it's an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE (whether this is good or not, I don't know).

    if I get the quick kill on to kill background stuff, EB is as fast as IBFD or even ETW vanilla (except for the loading of the menu (2-3 min)). DUO CORE ROCKS!!!
