A 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 was released on April 2, 2002, and the bus speed increased from 400 MHz to 533 MHz for the 2.26 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 2.53 GHz models in May, 2.66 GHz and 2.8 GHz models in August, and 3.06 GHz model in November. With Northwood, the Pentium 4 came of age.

Some iteration may have shipped until August 2008, but the 3Ghz Pentium 4 was introduced in `02, making it an almost 9 year old piece of technology.

I want buy a game not a new computer for THIS game , another reasons is , few people have very fast computer ( I7 core , I5 core ) , many people have good computer ( P4 and more powerful ) Few people , few copy sold , many people , many copy sold , is a market .
Actually, problem with Clod is not with the hardware. There isn't anything in there that some 2 or 3 year old PC couldn't handle. "Eyecandy" in Clod is outdated. The problem is coding. There is post on Ubi Cod forum by Gibbage, you might want to read that.

Good examples with coding and optimization is Crysis, and Crysis 2 even more.

I have a Pentium4, latest edition. One of the HT ones. @ 3.20GHz, and I cannot get it to run ArmA or Crysis "well" let alone "fine"
Crysis is a noted machine killer...I also fail to believe that his old system runs it fine.

Basically, commercially available CPU's like the dual core CPU's are the bottom of the barrell today. I'm not exactly surprised the old P4 can't handle Clod.

1. Gibbage is anything but credible. He is acting against current dev team and has been disreputed.

2. Do not bring up Crysis/Crysis2 when dealing with this game. IL2 CoD is nothing like Crysis. If you have problems understanding that then you should stop posting here.

What is your source for that nonsense? It was released a couple of weeks ago, and developed with today's PCs in mind.

That's not correct. You are new to this forum, so I understand that you may not be fully informed on the details of this sim. IL2 was written by the same people. CoD is more detailed in every way. None of these other titles provide the historical accuracy and detail, flight and damage model that CoD provides. If you are interested in the best combat flight sim ever produced, stick around, there's a lot for you to learn here. If not, don't waste your time here, it's not for you.

You clearly haven't got a clue what computations the game is making to model all the AI planes etc.

So in Crisis you can move around a map (without pausing to load as you move) that covers about 100 thousand cubic miles? And the AI are in historically accurate planes flying around that space? You might as well use Avitar as your basis for graphical comparison.

well a rig with:
P4 3.0Ghz HT
2GB DDR2
8600GT 512mb

could ran everything smooth except for GTA4, Bad Company 2, ArmA2, Crysis2, Global Agenda, Shattered Horizon...well it even ran ArmA2 at low visibility and low resolution

among the titles which ran pretty well are:

Mass Effect 1 and 2
Crysis (1)
ArmA
Dragon Age
Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Oblivion
Mount and Blade Warband
IL-2 1946
Flaming Cliffs 2.0

so, WITH OPTIMIZATION, this simulator that uses only 1 core, and not more than 2gb of ram, and that is only 32bit could be ran by that configuration, and I'm not a nay sayer just pointing out facts

How about another fact then?
IL2 : Cliffs of Dover is not programmed for consoles .

Fact #2 : Your PC is a PoS.

there's been two times over the years where i had to buy a new rig just coz a new sim came out

my 233mhz pentium wouldnt run gpl even though it was above minimum requirements so i bought a pentium 4 3.8 top of the line pc (at the time)
and i have to say that old p4 did me proud right up until the end of last year
and my son still uses it now running FSX,Rfactor,gtr2,warfront,1946.with a gt240!!!
which shows just how good the p4 3.8 was.

up until last year i ran 3 seasons in the V8 supercars on iracing with that P4 with a gt 9800
(very minimal stutters on minimum graphics and 90fps!!!!!)

the p4 3.8ht was the fastest p4 ever made and held up against a lot of the cpu's that followed it,but now its like what 5 or 6 generations old..the p4 3.8 was a hell of a lot quicker than your p4 3.0 you cant expect miracles mate.
the king is dead!!!
long live the king!!!

You have to be patient and a bit more welcoming with newcomers as the vast majority of gamers out there have no clue whatsoever what kind of processing it takes "under the hood" to make a sim like this.

What sets a simmer apart is more realistic modeling over sparkly effects, hit boxes/hit points and predictable AI. I'm sure the posts about best configurations for a game controller are coming as well.

Ironically, he is right (for the wrong reasons) that the sim needs a lot of optimizations, and will likely scare away those tentative console type gamers peeking around the corner of our part of the world which in a way is too bad because they are also not the type to wait around after release for a few months for things to get sorted out to be playable out-of-the-box.
