Flying on the edge myself. P3 550, 8meg nvidia, 192meg ram.

I am going to upgrade vid card, but I was wondering if 32meg was enough? In other words will my processor be able to take advantage of more than 32meg say with a G2MX400?

fps is always in the crapper after a new release

let htc tweak it once or twice before you do anything

Well... upgrade to a 64MB GF3 or similar, you certainly aren't going to hurt anything. Then, when you upgrade the CPU, you already have the video card taken care of.  Might as well avoid a potential future bottleneck if you can afford to.

reminds me of when I used to (try to) fly with 8kps.

if you get decent at that, when you get a new card you'll be hot!
