This is also using TIR5 and fraps will flying.
I have other sims that do not do that well. Such as CFS3 and the expansions, OFF phase 2, FSX gold addiction with the F-18 superbug that is very hard on fps.
(I have taken the Superbug off my PC and the PC runs much better. Its what it sayes it is a superBUG.)
And thy do not look neerly as good as CLoD.
When I was looking at CPU's I read reviews on the Intel core Duo E8600 @ 3.33GHz that sayed thy out preformed the 4 core CPU's in gaming. I would have to say thy were right. Most people will never use a 4 or more CPU unless there multi-tasking to the extrim. And it harder on games when thy try to use so many core. It slows the game down.
We also have a 4 core PC that I have tried flight sims on and thy did not do as well as the Intel core Duo E8600 @ 3.33GHz.

Sorry to break the Core 2 Duo spell for you, had one before that my 8 year old has now and I played CoD on it (and it ran really good on that one too after the patches - but not near my new CPU).
Look in this thread:

The conclusion is that my old rig (E8500@3.3 so identical to your CPU) with my new GTX580 card had half the FPS in CoD compared to my new i7 2600k rig with the same graphics card... So the CPU matters very much in CoD and the Core 2 Duos are really not enough.
But you are right that the the late Core 2 Duos where great for gaming compared to the Core 2 Quads in many cases, but they don't stand up against the new Sandy Bridges that are easily overclocked to insane speeds. Mine runs fine at 5.0Ghz on air but I run a "cool" overclock at 4.5 to not strain it.
