My system:

-AMD 900mhz Athlon Tbird
-MSI K7T Pro 2-A motherboard
-Geforce GTS 2 pro 64 mb ram
-256mb pc100 ram
-18 gb worth of hard drives
-Sblive! platinum soundcard
-OS: Windows XP pro

MOHAA Settings:
-Everything MAX except terrian detial which is set to one below max: higher detail.
-Resolution: 1280 x 1024
-Trilinear filtering
-Texture Comp. on
-basicaly everything is maxed out as pretty as it will go

With these settings the game is smooth as hell. I'm not sure of exact fps, but omaha beach is completely stutter free...actually it screams! I actually noticed a drop in performance when I tried 16bit color. It seemed the more I scaled back the settings the worse the game performed. Defys logic, huh?

I credit the great high end performance to WindowsXP. A virus took out my WinMe os, so I was forced to buy XP, much to my chagrin. However it improved just about every single aspect of my pc. High-end games like Comanche 4 were a slideshow on WinMe, but runs like butter on XP. XP simply rocks my world!

I don't now if other users will get the performace I get with similer hardware specs.
I'm pretty aggressive about running a streamlined gaming system. You got to keep your resources as free as possible. That means NOTHING running in the background except for what's nesscary(firewalls, sound mixer controls, etc...).
