Best bet would be to upgrade to that ddr2 to 4gb and then think about a new GPU after the release, when we know more about CoD performance.

Up the ram to 2 X 2 GB and see how it runs with your card.

Thanks guys for excellent advice!
I know a little about computers, so i have always wanna go for 2 x 2gb :p
And then i can upgrade to 2 x 2 gb again, so then i have 8GB. But will see how it works with 4 gb first, then upgrade the video card...

Sorry about my english... It's a little bad.

But would it not be best to upgrade to 8 GB ? Because many planes up in the air, and flak guns fire on you... That would give a hard job to the cpu and ram.. ?

It can, if you take the 64 bit exe.

But you're right, it won't make use of the extra ram anyway.

max. RAM: 16GB (if you take 4x 4GB)

They say ypou need 12GB of RAM to play , that is just because the game is optimised horrible - 12gb is massive overkill. The plus is atleast 12GB isnt much more then buying the game itself.
