Check out what is working from those who have good working COD systems

Well I started off with a core 2 duo e6600 2.4gig, 6gig ram, 9600gt 1gig g/c and was able to play with reasonable fps although with video settings turned down to med---low but with a couple on high. After a recent upgrade to a AMD M4N98TD-EVO (yes a sli board but not currently running sli and only 1 gts450 1gb card)AMD 965 Quad @3.4 gb and 4gb ram, and my frame rates have doubled and the game runs very smoothly now with most video settings on High some on med. Now looking forward to getting another gts450 1gb to go to full sli. I have seen a lot of posts about ROF being the best graphically, all I can say is you won't know how good COD is until you have a system upgrade. COD is far superior graphically to me in every way and much more enjoyable. Sure it is not perfect but each patch makes it better. I downloaded ROF new demo to try and I am sorry but it dosen't compare to COD with it's bland landscape. Stop moaning about how bad your system runs this sim and make your settings to get the best that you can and enjoy what is going to be another classic. It took ROF 12 months at least to get to where they are now, Cod is better than that after about 3 months.
