I would argue that there is no such thing as a generalized "good" RMSD.  It is 
entirely dependent upon the stability of your protein, the solvent conditions, 
and whether or not you have appropriate simulation parameters.  Check for 
stability in the RMSD value over time, and whether or not the behavior you are 
seeing in the simulation makes sense based on what is known experimentally (if 
possible).
