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.

No worries mate. I always ignore the minimum requirements that game publishers give....in my experience, they always seem to be the bare minimum that will get only just get the game to run (but with pretty much everything ingame set to the lowest possible level). I'd probably use the "recommended" specs for the game as your lowest bar for an upgrade.

Let us know how you get on.
