Thanks guys for excellent advice!
I know a little about computers, so i have always wanna go for 2 x 2gb :p
And then i can upgrade to 2 x 2 gb again, so then i have 8GB. But will see how it works with 4 gb first, then upgrade the video card...

Sorry about my english... It's a little bad.

But would it not be best to upgrade to 8 GB ? Because many planes up in the air, and flak guns fire on you... That would give a hard job to the cpu and ram.. ?

They say ypou need 12GB of RAM to play , that is just because the game is optimised horrible - 12gb is massive overkill. The plus is atleast 12GB isnt much more then buying the game itself.

You definitely should add RAM to run COD, especially for flying near towns and cities. The graphic card should be ok for normal settings.

Best bet would be to upgrade to that ddr2 to 4gb and then think about a new GPU after the release, when we know more about CoD performance.
As i said, some more DDR2 should be fine. I ran DDR2 1066 just until about a year ago, I know that it's fine. What matters the most is how much of it you have. The difference between 2gb and 4gb is quite noticeable when your system is under strain. And another thing to think about are the CAS timings. Lower the better. Some slower, super low latency RAM will benefit your system better than fast RAM with high timings, especially when combined with a good CPU. But honestly I love my fast DDR3 1600, and comparatively I noticed a nice boost in framerate. But then again I'm running 7-7-7-21 timings at 1.6v... so the best of both worlds.

The difference between DDR2 and DDR3 is negligible, more is better.
