One thing I am still trying to figure out:
Is it better to play with a higher resolution and lower details or with a lower resolution and higher details?

Discuss!
(Or even better, just help me) :)

I forgot to include MY specs and settings:

Pentium IV 2,4 GHz
1 GB RAM
GForce 6600GT 128 MB
Audigy SB 2 ZS

1152*864
Shader 2
no AA
Bilinear Filtering
no reflections, no bloom
Shadows very low
Units High
Buildings Low
Textures Med
Grass Med
Vegetation Med

Normal Unit Size.

Fraps has not sent me below 22 so far. Only the siege of London in the tutorial produced some stutters.

And I would still be thankful for the answer of the quoted question.

Running 3.0Ghz P4, 1.5 Gb RAm, GF7600 AGP 256Mb DDR2 RAM, 500W Power Supply. Resolution set 1280 x 1024. I could probably go higher but have not tried yet. All settings at max, including bloom and shadows. Everything is running great, no lag at all. The graphics really are unbelievable. Now I need to start my campaign.

P4 2.8 GHz
512 RAM
Radeon X1300 256MB Card

Got most stuff on High, though I set the vegation detail and something else on high, back to Medium also ,to make it run slighty faster. SP Campgain and Battles are good, slight lag, but not bad..

I'm running:

Pentium Extreme Edition 3.73ghz
4gb RAM
2 x Crossfired X1900's 512mb

1900x1200 resolution on 24" widescreen LCD
No AA - I don't feel I need to use it while running at that resolution.
Everything on max except shadows which are turned off
Huge units

Don't have FRAPS installed so can't tell FPS, but framerate is fast to the eye, which is all that matters. It does slow down a bit in large sieges.

Hi mates, specs
AMD athlon dualcore 3800+
2 giga RAM
7600 GT

all settings on high/highest except shadows on low, AA x2, AF x4, resolution 1024x768, huge units and perfomance is more than great except the known pathfinding/cpu issue in sieges...
