I would think that if you are running an I7 core then you most likely have DDR3 RAM since the Motherboards for I7 typically only support DDR3 RAM. The difference is quite large between DDR2 and DDR3 mainly that DDR2 has 8.5 GB per second bandwidth and DDR3 is 12.8. What that means is faster read/write speeds meaning less time for the processor to get its data.
In any case 2GB of any RAM is limiting the I7 core. The GTS250 were great cards when they got released but you know with time they aged and now are old. Just surprised you are able to run CoD with it.
Your resolution is probably what is saving you from horrible performance, but still if you are getting CTD like me its pointing to RAM memory leak. What i mean by that is this: the Game has a flaw in memory code so that it writes wrong data to RAM or uses a lot of resources, eventually saturating available RAM and creating a dump.
The I7 you have has potential, although i dont know what generation it is. But pretty much all of them are good. If you could get 6GB RAM in your system and a better card Like a GTX480 or an ATI 5970 (bear in mind these are old now, 2 generations old) your system would fly.

Yes, I do get regular CTD after 20-40 mins which is a bit limiting to say the least.
Thanks for the advice. I am looking forward to upgrading. So....
Which OS - Win 7 64 Professional or Win 7 64 Ultimate - any benefit for gaming?
Is 6GB RAM enough do you think?
In terms of cards, I'm waiting for the next gen cards to come online and hope for some decent bargains. I guess 2GB+ is best?
