Question's above. I have 1 gb of ram, 3 ghz processor and 256 mb graphics. I run everything on low except 100% view distance. I can normally handle Medium but some servers go a little choppy, and I cant run SF. I dont care about shadows or lighting or anything, I'd just rather the ground didnt look like a brown mess.
more ram would probally help most, but with what ur system is now if the vid card is decent u should have no prob running most settings on medium.
I would say u have a bottle neck.

Try some of these, dunno if they'll work for you but you could try
What video card do you have? "256 mb graphics" tells us nothing about the power of the card.
But just as a rough guess, I'd say use medium textures (you don't have the RAM for high), high models/terrian, effects is up to you, turn off the dynamic stuff (major FPS killer), low shadows (they're eye candy, but makes it hard to see indoors and stuff), no AA/AF (FPS killer and not worth the sacrafice of frame rate IMO).
