mf= magic finding....my all time fave thing to do in diablo2 lod....anyways
caliban it depends on what u want..u want sojs or tal ammy u mf nightmare andy as she has the highest chance to drop both. it all depends on the item leval versus the monster leval. item leval is a hidden attribute each item has...and all monster levals (leval of monster) can only drop items with an item leval of the mosnster leval or less.....Theres a thread ill find and post here where i wnt into great detail explaining how it works....
anyways a few of my places(that u havnt listed) are nm andy nm chaos sanctuary and hell chaos sanctuary runs
The Countess would be good for runes, but that isn't exacly MFing, as Runes aren't effecting by MF.
Going higher in MF beyond (around) 600% is useless because MF is on a diminishing return, meaning that as MF increases, it gives slighter and slighter bonuses. The first 100% increases the chance more than the second 100%.
And TC (if you mean TreasureClass) does have an impact, as those decides what items and bonuses can be dropped. All monsters in Act 4 & 5 Hell can drop every item in the game, (though of course bosses have a higher chance). Mephisto has a higher TC than Diablo, which is why it is more benefitable to farm him.
/players command also affects MF, as item drops increase, which leads to larger amounts of magic items too.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Nice! thx guys! i appreciate the fast answers! well to go more into what i was wanting to MF Silver... I am more looking for SOJ's,High Runes, or Set Items! If you know of places that are the best for finding High Runes that would be much appreciated seeing as that is the major currency in D2 so it is what im looking for the most! =D thx

yes...but ileval is much much much more going to help find a specific item then calculationg treasure class. Treasure class decides what type of item drops within a given Monsters leval. The Ilvl cannot be higher then the mlvl.
so like u said tc has a impact on what item drops...but u have really no controll over it...the 2 things u DO have controll over with when mfing are item leval and monster leval. The TC leval is where the luck comes in at deciding what the quality of the item will be....norm./..elite...ect and after that is selected ur magic find is brought into play to decide if your'e selected item is goin to be norm, magical,set,unique
and and for clarification to everyone else /player command cannot be used in muliplayer battlenet
soj's.....nm andy with anywhere from 400-500 mf....ive found 13 this ladder season already from here using this strat...let me know what specific set caliban as it makes a huge diff depending on set and specific piece

I didn't, but the Countess is still a better bet I believe. She (and Andy before getting her quest completed) have the highest chances of runes getting dropped in the game.

Some sets that i would like to find if possible would be like Tal Rashas, Aldurs, or Imortal Kings! Oh and i know that countess drops low runes but i sorta need high runes! thx for the little tid bit about Hephasto! =D oh and what about Ethreal items or Socketed items? does magic find effect whether items are ethreal or socketed?

that being said its hard as hell to get her to drop anything higher then a lo rune
FIrst off it has to Select her rune tc as opposed to every other tc it could select and then it would have to select any rune from el-ist being that the percentages decrease as the rune ilvl gets higher
