I dont know if this has ever been discussed but appropriate graphics levels must be set. And here are my recommendations:
-Highest: Runs smooth on a 2.5GHz system (or equivalent) with top of the line graphics card.
-High: Runs smooth on a 1.8GHz system and graphics card at least as powerful as a GeForce 3 Ti-200.
-Medium: Runs smooth on a 1.4GHz system with graphics card at least GeForce 2 or equivalent.
-Low: Runs smooth on a 900MHz system with Geforce 2 or equiv.
-Lowest: Runs smooth on a 500MHz system with TNT2 or equiv graphics card. But can run on a system of 350MHz or more.
I state these results after a poll I ran at a different web site a couple of weeks ago and thought Id share this with you.
Of course Im aware that it is very diffficult to encode to such a spectrum of PCs but unfortunately its the reality and I would recommend taking in these suggestions as \'targets\'.
Hope this helps,
