I have a 4850 1GB in an older machine (Opteron 165, 4GB, ASUS NF4 chipset ) which works "OK" - if not running really high screen resolutions (1920x1080 is playable but lower has less stutters at very low altitudes ) the new "graphics patch" when it becomes available sometime in Sept. or Oct. should help - IF you have time to experiment, it may be worth doing on his machine but if it's truly a 4650 it may be not worth it ( I also tried a 4850 with 512MB VRAM in the same machine which was "playable" but stuttered badly below 2,000 feet )
IF he can run IL2 1946 version 10 he could probably make COD work for him. ( Though it will not be as good as with one of the current cards in the "mid-range" of the "supported" list. )
