@janik_dk : your gtx 285 is definitely outdated for CoD, you should go for a modern gtx580. The gtx480 was a error they pushed the heat and power consumption way too much.
If it's too expensive, going for a short term "cheap" upgrade (ex : a second hand gtx460) could also be a good idea while the game is being optimized.

@Riddlin yes you can upgrade but will it be enough to play CoD some day ? that is the question, you should wait, also i've read that the game is having some strange bugs over xp this needs to be sorted out, anyway you can still buy a 2gig stick of ram (ddr and xp will support it, in fact).

My quick 2p

Riddlin, Your PC can access 3.4(?)Gb RAM and 32 bit applications usually can allocatre a full 2Gb for its use so going to 4Gb wouldn't be a waste and would ensure a full 2Gb for say IL-2 or CoD.

A GPU upgrade could also be helpful. Really depends on whether the GPU or the Processor is the current limiting factor (I don't know that one).

janik, agree with jibo but if you can't afford the 580 the 570 is a good second bet although it has less memory (1.3Gb).

Jibo & Klem:
Thanks for your answers guys! It'll be a 570 or 580

Well, I have a copy of Win7 Pro waiting on me when I decide to upgrade so that is a plus.

RAM I can get this: Kingston HyperX 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). Its less than $80.

The thing I am worried about is the vid card...with what I will be setting it on, any suggestions as to what would be the best?

I have the CPU OC'd rock solid stable at 3.31Gig. I got it up to 3.84Gig right after I bought it but it was running really hot and all I have is an air cooling system(9 case fans and a huge copper HS/Fan from Zalman(sp) & the GPU has crap ton of added HS and a Zalman HS/Fan on it as well).

If you meant RAM...I have 4 slots for that.

Get this as well with a geforce 9500 gt

I am using a Toshiba F60 with 4GB Ram, 2.66 processor and unfortunately for me an Nvidia GT330M. And I use a 22" monitor attached.

I get this error message when the game starts : nvidia windows kernel mode driver 267.76 stopped responding.

I can view the menu, except the pilots and aircraft, and if I hit fly...nada.

And I have tried updating the drivers.

Anyway, I guess my question is: Will these Laptop cards ever be supported?

You've got to be kidding? 128kbps UP. That pretty much rules out anybody with ADSL

I guess they mean kilo bit per second. so this should be fine for adsl...

I wouldn't bet on it. Not with that graphics card.

I wouldn't worry about the VC at this time. Give the devs and community a chance to start posting configurations and settings.

I have an nvidia 8800 512 single card. I remember when I bought it how it was outdated and such, and everyone was pushing SLI.

Addressing all those VC wasn't not as facilitated as people were saying. In fact, by having one card I was at better FPS than all the SLI users with few exceptions.

You can see my specs below aren't too different than your own. I have vista 64 and Win 7 64. I run the IL2 - 4.101 with the Vista and get great performance and graphics.
