finally got it to go

Not for a 32-bit game, you won't. It's arithmetic!
The best you get is an extra ~0.5GB (or maybe a bit more, possibly up to 1GB http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx ) because Win64 will not need the that space reserved by Win32. Plus all the other processes are memory allocated under Win64, so don't count towards the 32 bit limit.
You're running under a Win32 emulator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64 , so the 32-bit limit is still there.

i have done this with a 16gb flash drive, i plan to add another soon
made big gain for my 4 gb ram rig

What if I have an external Hard Drive, will that work? I have Windows 7 64 bit with 4 gig of ram.

I dont think so, HD are slow, ram is fast

Hopefully v2 is a better pilot, tbh he couldn't be any worse than his predecessor....

Hi there, this is from a post Luthier did on performance.



E. NOTE: DirectX 9 offers slower performance and lower graphic fidelity. If your system meets Recommended system requirements, upgrading to a DX10-capable operating system will offer better performance boost in Cliffs of Dover than perhaps any hardware upgrade.

I remember that. Runs very well on 64bit windows 7 for me.

yes certainly if your os is on it
but u still need the flash drive
12gb or better

[Verhängnis]

But I read that 4gig usb is all that is required, and anything more than 4 gig would be uneeded because it can't be used?

Thanks for this info, I had never heard of readyboost. I just tried this on my system using an 8 gig stick (Q6600 quad, 4gig ddr2, GTX280 oc with win 7 64) and I can now play online without noticable slowdown. I attacked a flight of 8 bombers at the same time as another hurricane, both of us in flack and I didn't get any slow down! Just last week in the same server (ATG) I got into a dogfight with a Stuka in the middle of flack and it turned into a slide show. I am very happy now! Makes me feel better about waiting until later this summer to build a new rig.

So would my laptop be able to run CoD assuming I used my 4 gig USB on Readyboost + the upcoming beta patch with graphics re-write to run CoD:

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.111118-2330)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz (Overclock to 3.1Ghz)
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4006MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Resolution: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Video Card: Nvidia GT 520MX @ 1Gb DDR3 (I don't think this is going to suffice sadly, it's the second weakest availible, and I can't change it...)
