a definite must have:
-CPU (i.e. Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz)
-RAM (i.e. Corsair Dominator DDR2-8500 @ 1100 MHz 5-5-5-15)
-GPU (i.e. ATi/AMD Radeon HD5870 @ 900/1300 MHz running with Catalyst 11.5)
-OS (i.e. Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit with Service Pack 1)
-PCIe Version (1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 @ 105 MHz and yes that can have an impact )

Test may be run (or not) with forced AF at least at 8x, 4xMSAA (if supported, if not no MSAA/MLAA/CFAA/SSAA)

any further suggestions?

Perhaps we should agree on a level of hardware information that is easily attainable through CPU-Z, because everyone will not know exactly what memory timings they have and so on.

CPU: Model + frequency
Main board: Brand + model
Memory: Size + frequency + timings
GPU: Model + VRAM size + driver version
OS: Name + 32/64-bit + build number
Version of CloD

Obviously one could give more info, but this could be the minimum.
