    For the time being I'm running a 256mb ATI 9600. I had my doubts about it working when I loaded the game. Actually I had to turn things up in the Catalyst Control Center, had a 3d engine malfunction, something like that. Download the latest drivers from ATI, Feb 2007 if I remember correctly. It will work, graphics won't be the best but very playable. My current settings are below, I get decent graphics (smoke, holes, fog, etc.) and reasonable fps. I'm still playing with the game settings to see how far the card can be pushed.
    DepthBufferEffects=0
    Filters=0
    Glare=0
    UnderwaterDispMap=0
    LightShafts=0
    3DShipWakes=0
    DetailedWaveRipples=0
    UnitNormalMaps=1
    ShipCausticsEffects=1
    Ship3DDamage=1
    CharacterDetail=0
    ParticlesDetail=5
    TerrainObjectsDensity=2
    TerrainObjectsLODSize=8
    GammaCorrection=55

    I'm running with a ATI 9550. I had to set everything to the lowest denominator, but it's running, kinda. Bagged three merchants the other day, love the deck gun.

    New computer arriving Tuesday.
