R:TW benchmarks

[Uriel]

I've seen a couple of hardware reviews that use R:TW plus FRAPS. Haven't been able to find anything that will allow me to do a like for like comparison though.

I'm relatively happy with R:TW performance, only experiencing some slowdown in huge battles with several thousand men on screen (Athlon XP2500+, 1GB RAM, Geforce 6600GT 128mb etc). At some point I'd like to do a motherboard and CPU replacement (which is finally a relatively inexpensive option now that ULI have released a s939 chipset that does both 16x PCI_E and 8xAGP at full speed).

Trouble is, I don't think the amount of money I'd want to spend will make a vast improvement. It'd be nice to be able to put some numbers on it so I can decide whether to take the plunge soon or wait a bit longer.

Edit: Any chance a mod can shift this over to Apothecary?
