What settings should I use in-game with this system?

I am going to go out and buy EQ2 in a few hours. This thread is to ask advice of those of you who have played it already and know how the performance is. I want to be able to play the game smoothly without the lowest graphics settings, so what should I set high and set low in my video options? I have heard it takes a while to get them just right, so I thought I would go ahead and get a head start by asking you all. MY system specs are as follows:

Windows XP Home Edition with SP2
2.50 GHz Intel Pentium 4 Processor
1024mb DDR SDRAM
128mb GeForce FX 5200 (PCI)
120 GB DMA hard drive
16x DVD ROM


Thanks.

    You can actually do maximum.. this game takes alot of ram.. I can run game at high quality with a 5900... and 512 megs of ram.. if I ahd a gig I wouldn't see a reason to not maximum alot ofs tuff... dont sue shadows btw... they kill fps.. and they dont show..

    Just test it out yourself to see what your PC can run.

    i would download fraps http://www.fraps.com turn it on before you enter the game. after you make your char and all that good stuff, drop your settings to the lowest possible. and add stuff until you have a comfortable fps. leave stuff out that you dont want and extras that really put a dent in the fps. like the bloom effect will really hit you on fps (or antialiasing, you can only choose one but both will screw you pretty hard, i would recommend them off). hope this helps.

    If you want to figure out the "worst case scenario", just go hang out in North Qeynos by the Antonica Gate any night around 7-9pm EST.  You'll be able to see how low you can drive your frame rate.
