I think what would be particularly valuable for people is if you could stick in frame rates, too. I don't know if the sims themselves can output that data or if you'd have to use a frame rate tool. One of the questions that often comes up here is whether or not the software will run well on slightly aged systems, such as yours.

One thing that would help people, too, is comparing the frame rates with a few different video cards. That's a bit more ambitious, however. What people often want to know is if an upgrade to their video card will produce a noticeable result. Testing a low end, medium (like you have), and higher end card would give the information some context, but obviously add time and expense to the process.
All very good ideas. The testing of different cards though is indeed a bit more ambitious and better left to other members to post their results. I have seen many members mention and post their frame rates on different cards. I will definately keep this in mind.
