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.

You might be surprised now. The CPU doesn't seem to be a bottleneck in CoD, unlike IL-2 '46. My quad core i7 950 runs at around 30% usage. Your RAM may be borderline in the sense that I see around 2.8Gb when in the cockpit but the memory leak makes it climb to 5.2+ Gb over about 1.5 hours when it crashes so you may crash a little earlier. And as insuber says, kill that Ubi logo.
