The difference in comments are because some people are being sarcastic. The OP has a decent spec PC, better than most people here, so when he questioned whether he'd be able to run the game a lot of people thought he was being ridiculous, so they thought they'd be sarcastic.

I'm not going to cancel my preorder but i should do it. I'll confirm it only because of the last 10 years spent with IL2, but what has gone here in these months has not been honest at all.

We have never seen video vith sounds, we have never seen clouds, we have never seen nothing in spite of all the our questions and now we know why. The fanboys club has given you a good chance to avoid these answers: "Hooooo is wonderfull, great, superb, amazing" ecc. ecc..

Thank Oleg Maddox if a lot of us is going to confirm his order in spite of what's going on here.

Aye, well, I am used to forums like these to be winging and hostile and so on...... Just wanted to put in some normal, asked for, answer to his question.

Cheers though mate.

Maybe I will buy it later when these issues have been fixed and/or after reading some positive reviews of the game.

Before canceling the game, if someone could comment on the possible playability of CoD with the specs I have in my computer?

Gigabyte motherboard (cannot remember which)
12GB Ram
Win-7 64bit
Intel Core i7 Quad 920 2.66GHz processor
Asus Ati Radeon 5850 1GB DX 11 graphics card

Why the hell you do you have 12 gb of ram? 4 gb is more than enough. As long as you have free memory while playing a game. I run rise of flight with 4 gb of ram. And I have 1,5 gb free memory when I play it. I use win 7 32 bits, wich means allso it can just read 3,6 gb of my 4 gb memory.
People with little knowledge of computers is getting lured by the companies. You have absolutely no need for 12 gb of memory. Maybe if you run virtual servers + 2 or 3 heavy programs on your computer at the same time

Steam will be bound by the consumer laws of the country you live in, no matter what they may claim. Either a cancellation or a refund should be available to you within the statutory "cooling-off period" which is (I think) 7 days in the EU.

Here's the low-down for the UK:

Buying online from shops or suppliers

The purchase of goods and services over the internet, by phone or by mail order generally is subject to the Distance Selling Regulations. One of the most important implications of these regulations is a cooling off period of 7 days during which you have the right to cancel. You must provide notice of cancellation in writing and it must be posted to, left at, faxed or emailed to the business address of the supplier, and you must ensure this is done no later than 7 working days after receipt of goods. Contracts for financial products sold by distance means are subject to different rules, see below for more on this.

Something else worth mentioning is that the supplier must have sent you written confirmation of your order no later than the time of delivery of the product or performance of the service. If they did not, then your 7 day cooling off period will not begin until they do, and may be extended by a further 3 months.

If you have commissioned a service under a distance selling contract and the work begins before the end of the 7 days cancellation period, then you must give up your right to cancel, but this must be clearly communicated and with your express agreement.

I use this computer in my music studio and I run these programs that require a lot of RAM. That's why 12GB.

I have successfully overclocked my Processor to run at 3150Mhz by setting Host clock frequency to 150. My processor is running hot enough that I know that I should not raise this any more than that.

I have a question about memory. I can get my memory to run with two different settings and I am not sure which one is better. My memory is 6x2gb DDR3 1600mhz CL9

Setting: AUTO on bios

(Details from a program called CPU-Z)
DRAM 600mhz
FSB : DRAM 2:8
CAS Latency (CL) 9 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD) 9 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP) 9 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 22 clocks

OR

If I change a fequency setting on my memory settings in bios I can get the following:

DRAM 900mhz
FSB : DRAM 2:12
CAS Latency (CL) 10 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD) 13 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP) 13 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 31 clocks

Now which one of those two Memory options above is better, it seems that the processor is running hotter wen memory dram is set to 900mhz?
