I'm sure that you'll be able to turn SOW's eye candy down so that it'll look just like Il2, then you'll be able to run it on the same machine that runs IL2 well cranked up, but probably a bit slower. Granted this is speculation, but given Oleg&Co's track record, I believe a safe one. These guys are developing the game on lower end computers purposely to ensure the widest possible compatibility.

Yeah, i think you'll be fine if you turn down the details a bit.

How many Frames How do you display FPS 'Swiss'? (no details of how to do this in the user manual).

shift + tab

then enter: "fps START SHOW" without quotes

fps will be displayed on top of screen

turn off: fps STOP SHOW

How many fps you get on the vid "black death", everything maxed out?

You should be able to run SOW with your system at lower settings. You could also upgrade your video card and cpu later without buying a whole new system.

A high end video card would due wonders.

Also you could upgrade the cpu later to a four core or six core at around 3 gigs depending on how many cores the SOW engine will support effectively.

You can't yet (and probably will never be able to) run six cores on a LGA 775 motherboard, though four cores is a worthwhile improvement.
