I do not belive you got ArmA or Crysis to run "fine" on a Pentium4.

I have a Pentium4, latest edition. One of the HT ones. @ 3.20GHz, and I cannot get it to run ArmA or Crysis "well" let alone "fine"

The Pentium4 is very old, and is one of the worst Processors you can have. It is not 'good', it's a £20 job today.

Alot of people do have things like the Phenom2 X4, and similar.

asus p4p800e deluxe
2 Gb ram 800 Mhz
Ati radeon sapphire HD3850 AGP whit 500 Mb Vram

Crysis is a noted machine killer...I also fail to believe that his old system runs it fine.

Basically, commercially available CPU's like the dual core CPU's are the bottom of the barrell today. I'm not exactly surprised the old P4 can't handle Clod.

Actually, problem with Clod is not with the hardware. There isn't anything in there that some 2 or 3 year old PC couldn't handle. "Eyecandy" in Clod is outdated. The problem is coding. There is post on Ubi Cod forum by Gibbage, you might want to read that.

Good examples with coding and optimization is Crysis, and Crysis 2 even more.

1. Gibbage is anything but credible. He is acting against current dev team and has been disreputed.

2. Do not bring up Crysis/Crysis2 when dealing with this game. IL2 CoD is nothing like Crysis. If you have problems understanding that then you should stop posting here.

well a rig with:
P4 3.0Ghz HT
2GB DDR2
8600GT 512mb

could ran everything smooth except for GTA4, Bad Company 2, ArmA2, Crysis2, Global Agenda, Shattered Horizon...well it even ran ArmA2 at low visibility and low resolution

among the titles which ran pretty well are:

Mass Effect 1 and 2
Crysis (1)
ArmA
Dragon Age
Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Oblivion
Mount and Blade Warband
IL-2 1946
Flaming Cliffs 2.0

so, WITH OPTIMIZATION, this simulator that uses only 1 core, and not more than 2gb of ram, and that is only 32bit could be ran by that configuration, and I'm not a nay sayer just pointing out facts

How about another fact then?
IL2 : Cliffs of Dover is not programmed for consoles .

Fact #2 : Your PC is a PoS.

there's been two times over the years where i had to buy a new rig just coz a new sim came out

my 233mhz pentium wouldnt run gpl even though it was above minimum requirements so i bought a pentium 4 3.8 top of the line pc (at the time)
and i have to say that old p4 did me proud right up until the end of last year
and my son still uses it now running FSX,Rfactor,gtr2,warfront,1946.with a gt240!!!
which shows just how good the p4 3.8 was.

up until last year i ran 3 seasons in the V8 supercars on iracing with that P4 with a gt 9800
(very minimal stutters on minimum graphics and 90fps!!!!!)

the p4 3.8ht was the fastest p4 ever made and held up against a lot of the cpu's that followed it,but now its like what 5 or 6 generations old..the p4 3.8 was a hell of a lot quicker than your p4 3.0 you cant expect miracles mate.
the king is dead!!!
long live the king!!!
