one pattern, going by reports from users, is that the old quad cores with lower hz rates are some of the worst performers in CoD. people with current dual core cpu's (which includes hyper threading, even if by some indications this might not be extensively used yet) seem to do much better

similar with gfx cards, single cards with 1.5 gb vram or higher seem to have no problems, but people with "sli on one card" (with each section having 1 gb vram) dont have much joy.

the older i7 cpu's might seem kool to wannabe's that havnt done their homework before plonking their money down, but these i7's strength really only lies in video encoding/decoding and other similar type applications that are specifically programmed to use them (which most games dont, and afaik there is no indication BoB/SoW will be either). they are a complete misbuy for a gaming in 2010/2011, and usually perform significantly worse then cheaper current midrange i5's (most of which have significantly higher mhz but are only dual cores).
