My son got me hooked into this sim and there possibly isn't a day that goes by that I don't question my mentality.
I started off with a 2g cpu, Agp graphics card(possibly 250mb v/ram?) and 1gb mem. Then up graded to 2.4g dual core cpu about the middle of the series and a 6600gt card, also m/b change.
Then along comes C.o.D., up goes the ante.
First 9600gt card (1gb v/ram) another 4gb ram (now 6gb total) oh god what happens then, the poor old p/s starts coughing and dies.
Decisions,decisions what to do.
Well i finally bit the bullit and decided on a complete re-build. Which way do I go? I finally decided on an Sli system to give me some options and don't regret it at all. I have had this running now for about 12 months and after a lot of experimenting with settings have good results with C.o.D.

The old system I repaired and past on to my other son's family and they are still using it.

Thank goodness the old series is still going strong because it will act as a feeder to this series as it progresses. I still go back to the old series and probably will continue to do so because there is continuing expansion there, some very good (new planes, effects and maps) and with software like "Mission Mate" and others it is very easy and quick to build missions with a huge choice of aircraft.

Oleg maybe long gone but his legacy lives on.

The king is dead, long live the new king
