Excellent info - thanks Richardson.  With your history of PC issues - I understand your "need for speed" in going with ray-traced shadows.  I'm still a fan of depth mapped shadows - since I can recalculate them while I go down the shops (or do something else).  Also, depth mapped shadows handle hair so much nicer.

On the "Max texture size" - I did a bunch of testing on this on P5, and found that very large texture maps slow rendertime considerably - but I think the P6 "Keep Textures Loaded" option blows this away, and there is more of an arguement for going with 4096.

Anyway - thanks again for your settings.
