COD or IL-2 1946

[mach3matt]

Just purchased the highest end Alienware M11x. I'm looking to get back into flight sims on long layovers overseas. With the following setup will COD run smooth at a reasonable detail level ( say medium ). Am I better off fighting the fight to get 1946 to work with Win7? Thanks in advance. Last sims I played were Falcon 3.0 and Aces over the Pacific.

System specs:

Intel Core i7 2617 1.5GHz (2.6Ghz with boost)

6GB DDR3 at 1333MHz

500GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s

NVIDIA GeForce GT540M with 2.0GB video memory and Optimus

Window 7 home premium 64bit
