Wait until the game is released before spending money.
Wait for solid review and discussion on what hardware works best before buyng a product.
Research your intended purpose and any similar products before you make a mistake.

Running a Q9550 stepping C1 on a Asus P5K deluxe. Originally 2.83ghz, overclocked on stock voltage to 3.9ghz. For an older Asus board it is an excellent performer, but a bit pricey for an old cpu. I guess because the darn thing performs so well and overclocks so easily. I hear fo guys getting 4.0 + with the E0 stepping.

I had a core 2 duo cpu back in 08 (it was a 2.66, I dont remember the cpu model number). I saw a dramitic jump in perfomance when I made the upgrade to the q9550.

I think it is best to wait on COD and see how everyone else is doing. I think we need to start a thread when the game come out just to report our system specs and note on how the game plays on it, just so people can take a look and see what makes sense for them with regards to upgrades.
