SlipBall,
Adding more ram to his system isn't going to help, 4gb should be enough to run C.o.D. on medium settings. His main problem is the graphics card with only 512mb of ram, if he is going to spend cash to upgrade the current system he has he is better off putting the hard earned cash into a new graphics card. A 512mb card that he has at the moment won't help to get reasonable play. It will be a stuttering mess with 512mb, a 1gb card would be absolute minimum. He really needs a 2gb card which if he upgrades his system he can transfer, so there would be no reason to get a new card with a system upgrade.
Wozza: -
Before you do anything check your power supply, it may not be capable of handling an up grade of any modern card. You may buy a better graphics card and then find that your power supply won't handle the extra load that it would create.
This card would be ok provided your power supply would handle the load: -
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 2GB Superclocked
Part Number: 02G-P4-2653-KR
• 1202MHz GPU Clock
• 38.4GT/s Texture Fill Rate
• 2048MB GDDR5 Memory
• 5000MHz Memory Clock
• 80GB/s Memory Bandwidth
Cost, approx. $160-00usd
Or this: -
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti SSC 2GB
Part Number: 02G-P4-3653-KR
• 1071MHz GPU Clock
• 34.27GT/s Texture Fill Rate
• 2048MB GDDR5 Memory
• 5400MHz Memory Clock
• 86.4GB/s Memory Bandwidth
Approx. 170-00usd
You would have to have a power supply that will handle a minimum of 110w for the graphics (500w minimum power supply with a 20amp minimum + rail)
