i installed and tried to run CoD about 4 months ago on my intel i5 @ 3.5 ghz (dual core only), 4 gb ram and ati 5770 (1 gb vram) video card and it was pretty much unplayable with most settings at medium (rez 1920 x 1200 on a 27' dell).
comparing that to what it looks like on a friends pc with i5-2500k with 8 gb ram and a 2gb vram recent nvidea card, the difference was huge, he had fairly decent game play (but still some micro stutters over land and big cities, or when having grass on etc). he also still had occasionally some ctdt and lockups
have you noticed a major level of improvement on your system in the last 4 months to the point it now runs that well for you ? (on your mid level pc, which is similar to mine). i have kept a monthly eye on the main forums to see what improvements people are reporting from recent patches, and have mostly still seen similar complaints (with maybe a 30% improvement in performance, which still doesnt make it worthwhile retrying on my system imo).
to have a decent chance to run it i think i need at least a quad core (even if at similar speed to my current cpu), a 2gb or more video card, and about 8 gb of ram. thats a big upgrade for something that should run ok on my current pc if they solve the main bugs.
