System specs.

So what will the optimal system be in a year when BoB is released only taking in to account what we know today?

Opsys = 64 bit

CPU = 3 or 4 core 64 bit

GPU = eg G92 ,1G DDR, OGL 3, displayport

RAM = 4G ddr3

MB = PCIe 3.0, DX 10.1 sound, legacy free

HD = SSD, SATA 3

Screen = displayport, 1080p

Just rambling what I can recall reading on the net. Anything else or any corrections.

BTW if I will be able to run SoW BoB on my present computer I doubt that I will by it.

Intel 6850 @3 gigs
Corsair DDR2-1066 4 gigs
Nvidia 7900GTX waiting for BOB to upgrade to a next generation video card

I've overclocked the cpu from @ 3.2 , 3.6, 3.8, and 4 gigs. I was getting huge frame rates in the black death track. At one point during a 4 gig test my system crashed and I restored the BIO defaults. Since then when I overclock the cpu and test with the Black Death track my frame rates actually fall. Cpu Z shows the proper overclock, and all the cpu heat tests I run show that the cpu isn't over heating. The only thing that I found different is the Windows task manager shows IL-2 using only 50% of the cpu and I thought IL-2 used almost 100%. I have the Speedstep disabled in the BIO's and the cpu doesn't seem to be downclocking when running a intensive app. I'm at a loss. It don't need the speed now but would like to overclock again when BOB comes out.
