If your system is configured properly you can expect reasonable framerates in T2. The performance hit will be noticable outdoors, espcially in heated battles, but it should be very playable.

To give you an idea, my T-bird 1200, 384MB PC133, GeForce 2 MX 32MB averages 60-70fps outside, 90-120fps inside. I play at 1024x768 with HQ textures, full detail terrain, HQ models & objects, fog & lighting enabled, far clip plane.

Given that you have more RAM, a faster CPU, and a moderately better video card, expect similar numbers -- assuming you know how to set it up properly.
