What resolution looks good with what AA also depends on the monitor you have too...a 17" or 19" CRT or 15" or 17" LCD will look fine on 1024x768 2x AA. 19"+ LCD or 21"+ CRT will demand that you bump that up to 1280x1024, which is what WILL cripple today's systems. I have no doubt that today's systems will play it fine on 1024x768. If you want to go above that, you will need far more than whats available today.
*EDIT* LCDs dont tend to need AA as much if you are playing at the native resolution. They need it bad though if you are playing below the native resolution though, which why people like Nubius who play below the native resolution demand at least 2x AA. Funny thing is, most of the time 1024x768 2x AA runs better than 1280x1024 no AA.
