Windows XP Pro
2 GHz Pentium 4 CPU
512 MB RAM
NVidia GeForce 2 MX 32 MB graphics card
Soyo K7V Dragon Plus! mobo  (I think that's the one)

All of these stats seem similar to Nobbie's from my perspective.  Am I just lucky somehow or is there something more that I might have/be doing?

I feel kind of bad because it sounds to me like I'm bragging a bit but I'm kind of curious

Not despite. Yes, your graphics card is a limitation, but the all important CPU + RAM are good (although I am not familiar with the mobo).

I think Nobbie's getting decent performance (10x7 with moderate detail settings). You're getting good performance out of low detail settings :) You're very right about terrain settings at low to zero being key to getting smooth gameplay. Also, you have enough ram (for the most part), and although the GeForce 2 is ailing... it still is/was a good-ish card for its age.

A better card would do much for your gaming's graphics experience, but that's up to you and your wallet.
