I can provide you with an idea of how much time and space the high-resolution will require: I downloaded the high-rez trial on Saturday. My DSL downloads at 3,000 kbps. I think it downloaded in about 4 hours and it takes up 7.8GB on the hard drive. After I installed the game I had to wait another hour while it download some updates. I think book 11 came out last weekend and I don't know if that contributed to the d/l time. It won't cost you 4+ hours to download the high-rez because the alternative is d/l the low-rez. I don't know how long that takes but if you have the extra hour or two I say, "go for it." I did not enable directx 10 and I am running the game at 1680x1050 on a 22" widescreen LCD. It looks great and runs smooth on my PC, but I have a dual-core CPU and a 256MB PCI-E graphics card.

The high rez textures don't really hit most systems that hard, and look about a jillion times better than the low rez ones. I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.

I'd download the high resolution client. You can tweak a ton of options to get the right balance for your particular setup. Myself, I'm willing to gain a few more fps in the cities and sacrifice a bit of atmospheric and lighting effects. I like the nicest textures that I can see though... so I have those cranked all the way up. Even for people with "identical" systems you'll probably have to tweak the settings for your particular preferences. You don't have to be a "techie" to do the majority of the option settings. They are all pretty straight-forward and a description of what each change does is available in the options menu. So, you can just play around with the settings until you like the way it looks and plays.
