I have a cheap system, but fairly current and solid for gaming. I'd rather spend $500 every couple of years than try to spend $1500 and drag the system out for longer than it's viable.
Core2Duo @ 4GHz,
Geforce 8800
3 GB RAM
Runs perfectly on 9.
I have a similar philosophy, however with mine I use the same PC, and alternate which parts I upgrade. Like next year I am planning to upgrade my motherboard, whereas my past couple upgrades have been video card, cooling, power supply, and RAM. So really it's the same PC, but it slowly evolves.
It runs perfectly on level 9, not dipping below the fps cap. My monitor limits the resolution at 1280x1024, but I'm sure it would run similarly up to 1920x1200.

a 4GHz Core2Duo???? wow... those are VERY rare (as in: don't exist)... or did you overclock the proc.???
Pentium MMX 200MHz (OC'd to 3.2GHz, added 3 more cores)
ATI Rage AGP 8MB (OC'd to the max)
98304kb of RAM (need to download more)
2 X 3.2GB HDD in RAID1 (I OC'd that too, mind you)
1KW Power Supply

On a more serious note

4GB of RAM at 1000mhz
9800GTX oc'd to 824/1238

Ok,
considering I started this topic, and you guys have told me your specs, its only fair that I say mine:
Os:Windows Vista Ultimate-32 bit
RAM:4gb
Gfx:9400GT
CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo 3 ghz
It plays fantastically on 1280x720 res, quality at 9. Chapter 3 will be my first proper experience with doing this, since my laptop was rubbish and had to be put down to 1 in order for any playability, so i didn't get the full graphics treatment for the first 2 chapters. All the more reason to be excited!
I have a similar PC. I think your main problem is the video card.
I can run the game at 1440X900 at maximum detail 9
AMD 64 3000+
1.5 Gb RAM
GeForce 6600 GT
Indeed it is. Actually I don´t even see much of a difference in quality between playing games with a Geforece 4ti and the FX5700. It´s a craptastic graphics card.
Problem is I am stuck with AGP (or PCI, not PCI-Express), where graphic cards offer lower performance at a higher price. But maybe I´ll switch to a card of the 6000-series anyway.
And no, I am not running Vista; I did once, but it sucked so hard I switched back to XP.

The 6600GT is an excellent AGP card! I can even run Bioshock, Fallout 3, The Sims 3 and Street Fighter IV! Maybe you could find a cheap one. Or you could even go for the 8600 although I don' know how much better it is. And I use Windows 7 and it works like a charm.
Old custom built PC, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ OC'd to 2.3GHz. Sapphire Radeon X1950XT, Windows XP 1.5GB RAM. For once I have actually never changed the setting for tyhe graphics...No idea why. I think I will got see how well my comp handles full graphics.
AMD Athlon X2 4200+
4GB RAM But on Vista 32-bit I can only use 3.5GB of it.
nVidia GeForce 7800GS 512MB
It would be better if I could max out the settings but I suppose I need to upgrade to a better PC.
OK, so I went and got a new PC and Chapter 4 was the first Telltale game I played on it.

The game ran awesome at 1920x1200 res with maximum level 9 graphics settings.
If you have DDR2, then how are you able to run a DDR3 graphics card?
The 8GB of DDR2 RAM are his main memory, which has zilch to do with the 1GB of DDR3 RAM on his graphics card. One is used by his CPU and mainboard, the other by his graphics card, and the only connection between those two is the PCI-Express bus that doesn't care one way or another which memory technology is used on both ends...

That is so awesome to here! i thought i'd be stuck having to look for DDR2 only graphics cards. my 9400gt doesn't like to run tmi on full settings:( after examination (ignore my last post about this). What's a good graphics card to play it on full?
Just upgraded my "slowly evolving" computer (I like that term PaleMan). TMI on 9, but it's not that much of a power hog. I played Modern Warfare 2 this weekend, maxed out everything - played like butter. It's the first time I've been able to play a brand new game that has top notch graphics and max it out. It's nice once you become an "adult" and can actually semi-afford nice toys.

The only way to play the game smooth with my specs is quality level 3.

If you're using Vista, 1gb of RAM is also painfully low.

With that setup you could probably force 16X antialiasing and it'd still be fine.

Least, still works for ToMI : )

I thought it is enough to run ToMI on highest settings, but I can't set quality above 9.
If you have DDR2, then how are you able to run a DDR3 graphics card?
4 giga RAM <- DDR2
Windows Vista
Nvidia 9600GT <-- DDR3
1440x900 and max graphics quality ( 9 )
