What operating system to use with a new rig?

Thanks again Naz, I shall check out the mag at the newsagents tomorrow for some (hopefully) enlightenment.
p.s. my rig also plays IL2-1946 on perfect smooth as silk. On RoF it starts to stutter if there are more than 3 or 4 a/c in the near vicinity. I have been hanging off upgrading waiting for CoD specs to be published. As it turned out they were a lot less than I expected, albeit minimum requirements, a sure way to get the unwary to purchase methinks.
