I went from an X800 to a X1900 XT and EQ2 looked like a lot better. I can't yet get Max settings on my 24" WS, but I get close. I did notice that the game lagged a bit in high traffic areas, like East Freeport, but that's probably because I have shadows on a higher setting.
Point is, if you go with an X1900 XT, you should be pretty happy, but if you're running at high resolutions, don't expect it to do everything. Most likely, a Crossfire (or SLI for the Nvidia folks) setup will be needed to max out EQ2.
