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).

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.

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

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?
