This game doesn't like XP, I gave up and went to win7 x64 it made the game stable, I was getting similar issues as you.

You really have a quad, 4 GB RAM, and run XP 32 and not W7 64?

And worse: runs IL-2: CloD, one heavy CPU title, with devs trying to extract better performance of multicore CPUs... XP 32 can't compare to W7 in therms of multicorecores usage.

Upgrade your system OS and try again. The time of "XP is better for games and W7 is just a resource hog" is gone... I run Ok CloD now in a system with weak CPU/GPU than yours...

Yes really. I tried Win7 with my old Core 2 Duo with the same rest configuarion and definitly Win XP 32 works for me better then Win7. The only game where Win7 works better is COD probably beacause of DX10.

In other games like old IL2 or ROF Win XP work for me better.

Thats why i stay with XP for now.

Because of DX10 and multicore better suport. In DCS series W7 kicks XP in performance too. And if we think that some have headtracking apps and a lot of things running background, I can't see why don't upgrade now to W7 x64. The new titles that REALLY uses multicore CPU will be glad.

Give it a try! IL2 1946 runs with maximum performance in 1/2 core here, isn't benchmark anymore

I have to say, that from an economic perspective, the comparison to buying a new car is major bogus.

First of all, and most importantly, a car is something that constantly looses value. If you so much as sit in a new car, it practically looses value. After a year, you can probably remove about 12000Euros of value from it.

Secondly, a car is nowhere as cheap as a computer game. It's simply not worth getting that worked up over if you're not 100% satisfied, especially WHEN:

The game can only get better, and run better with time..

Find a car that does that (mechanically speaking, while some exclusive cars age like wine, most cars age like milk)

Ever tried selling a game that you activated on your account?

If a car has a problem, it's also returned and fixed.

If roads, tires and fuel would be improved in the same speed computers are, you'd also get a lot faster the longer you have your car. That we have reached a point where transportation can't get much more efficient doesn't mean they were always this way.

No, but you can sell your account.

Good thing is, the game has a problem, and incase you havn't noticed, it's being fixed, without having to return it.

Well, I'd rather say your computer is your car in this case, that ages etc. The roads are your games, a road is being built here, and it's long and enjoyable. It's just full of "under construction" signs everywhere. If you fail to see those signs, you might be in for a nasty surprise.

But ROF use mulitcore in my XP 32 very good

For now i dont see too much reason to change for Win7 for very buggy and unfinished game like CoD :/
