run this on a:

p4 2.6 HT

800 FSB

1Gb of pc 3200

Samsung S-ATA 160Gb

FX 5900 128mb

Not an awesome system but it is ok, and I can get better graphics in just about any game then I can in EQ2, well playable graphics i mean, I can get BEST graphics in EQ2 but then I can just as well take a screenie of that, set it as background and stare at desktop for a few hours.

I have a XP1800 OCed to 2.1Ghz and 1Gb of PC2700 with a Radion 9600xt and i run on Balanced settings with no problems.

Either that FX5900 is a dog or there is something wrong with your system because your PC should be noticeably faster than mine.

It's not the 5900 card. My sytem is similar to his, but with a P4 2.8 and my FX 5900 is overclocked to a 5900ultra. EQ2 video settings are custom, after I tweaked them using the guide that is posted around here somewhere (quite nice improvement after that), and the game runs extremely smooth with the resolution on 1280 x 1024.
