All I can do is wish you luck. They've pretty much come right out and said that a Nvidia 8800 "won't be fun"... What exactly that means, I don't know, but it's not a good sign.

I will say that once you dial graphics down all the way (hopefully they'll allow that to make a difference)

Two things will affect your gameplay more than anything else:

Internet Connection
A decent connection is a must, just from the sheer volume of players/data being transferred.

CPU
To handle the huge number of calculations required by the hundreds of people, thousands of rounds flying, all the little "details" that you normally don't notice.


RAM
For the above, also



Basically, the same things that hampered X3, for the same reasons. The sheer scale of the game, by it's very nature, makes it demanding on these particular things. Graphics, you can tweak. This other stuff, there's not a damn thing you can do about.
