Alot of people go with the Intell chipsets i5 i7 $1,000 etc Many years ago I knew nothing about computers I had a Dell optiplex P4 windows xp 2 gig nvidia 9800gt Great for wolfeinstein online and a few other 2006 games

From then till now i been upgrading and learning how to speed up and better my computer other then adding parts. Defrag Ping fps processes firewall anti virse Overclocking The list go's on

I pay for 12 mbps i get 21Mbps download on a good day 19 Avg I could pay for more but It works for me and what i do

I now run a Amd duel core II x2 215 Unlocked to 240.
8 gigs of ram duel channel DDR3 Kingston Overclockable
Lsp 750watt Psu 80 gold rated
Asus Crosshair formula V Motherboard ATX up to 32gigs 3 way SLI or crossfire
OC button Rog connect
5770 XFX DDR5 1 gig Video card
SSD master
1TB Slave
Windows 7 Home
47" LG LCD Tv for a screen

Now i know i'm lacking in some places ( Duel core and video )
However Money is tight I have a mortgage of $480,000 cars wife etc
My computer isn't my number issue But part of my hobby in my man cave
It runs CLOD just fine with teamspeak and Fraps running in the back ground and high settings with no jitters or frezze
AMD is half the cost of intell and many run par or "just" under

My biggest issue was i came into cliffs thinking it was a start and go game like fighter ace Were the most you had to do was learn about flaps and rudder and not warm up, air screws , prop pitch, ..at least have a online combat room were new people learn at there own pace .. Since April 2011 till now i been in the rooms 3 times ...Got to start and blow the engine 1 time..Anyone that tells me ..well its a combat sim then i tell you this where is the rain and fog for london? Seach lights at night heavy flak fire storms after a raid Anyways Well at anyrate i'll still think they will see this and open the game to more of the "Game" customers or a option for new gamers to play with the sim pros ..new meat sorta speaking cheers
