The game loads, missions start in a few seconds, and never CTD's. I also have a very fast 50mbps online connection. A 60gig SSD is relatively cheap, but I have to reboot to its Operating System when I want to fly COD, although the reboot is very quick. I also have COD installed on a HHD with Windows XP, and its excruciatingly slow in comparison.

It must be the SSD. I have W7 on an SSD and CoD on a Velociraptor. Perhaps I should install it on my SSD. That would explain the stuttering at good fps. I'll let you know if it makes a difference.

Edit: $%#%^$# Steam won't let me put it on my SSD C drive and I'm not going to dual boot on a separate SSD. For me, sooo not worth the hassle. I'll wait for the patch. If that doesn't fix it, I'm shelving it for good. Thanks for the reply though.
