1024*768 I get about the same tbh.

Big battles is basically 200ish people perhaps, vehicles lots of action going on.

i owna computer buisness, and put together lots of gaming computers. Anyhting above the Athlon 2000xp, 512mb of ddr, and any gf4 128mb card or above will be fine. I would suggest getting a radeon card, and always get the pro, its much faster. But you should be fine. I run an athlon 2600xp, 1gb ddr 2700, and a radeon 9600 pro, and i get 30-40 fps in big battles.

i am now thinking of buying the geforce 5600 instead, as i have heard it almost compares to radeon 9500 PRO and it is cheaper where i live. would that be better?

NO! the 5600 is a horrible card. the 9500 pro is excellent. I would go with the 9500 pro 100%. The 5600 is a really bad card, the only reason it got high benchmarks is cause nvidia fuxored with the tests.

upgrade the ram. if you get like 768 or more in there and run at low resolution you should be able to run it.
