How M&B will perform on the following configuration:

Windows XP Home,
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (AM2)
RAM: 1GB DDR2 667MHz
Graphic card: GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB HDTV & DVI

Does anybody on the forum use similar configuration to play M&B? Do I need to upgrade?

That's almost exactly what I have, actually, I think it's identical. Mine runs fine, and runs most new games on full graphics fine too.

You wouldn't have any problems whatsoever on higher (possibly highest) gfx settings with decent battle size. If you do plan to upgrade anyway though, I would suggest going for RAM before anything else :

Possibly a silly suggestion, but you could download it and play the trial version, which should tell you all you need to know far better than this lot

Yeah, the amount of RAM there is making me twitch. But you should be fine. If MNB behaves oddly and or lags like mad, turn off bump mapping - if that fails to solve it, turn it back and simply set it to DX 7 render mode. it will look a tad stupider but hey, it'll run XD.

That should work fine. I have this...

Processor: (Intel) Pentium 3 1 GHz
RAM: 512 MB (I don't know the other stuff at the moment)
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 2 MX 400 32MB

...And M&B runs fine. It has no bump mapping(I tried it, ran ok.), pixel shaders, DX 7 mode, 800X600 16 Bit, low shadows, and no antialiasing. The only problem I have is to first launch the game(When you press the start game button) it has a load time of more than a minute.(I guess thats not bad.)

-Edit- I meant no pixel shaders.
