So why are people with newer computers, i5 and i7 chips, going on about how bad it is and how the game is is dead.

I've got a 27" late 2009 imac, Quad core i7, 6 gig ram, ATI 4850 overclocked.... its just a slide show for me at any settings, and controls don't work right too boot.... IL2 with 20gig of mods and everything maxxed works just fine, as does every other game I've tried, like COD MW3, Crysis games etc... Everything but COD works fine.... I don't think its a computer issue.. I keep checking back to see when it doesn't suck, and until then, I play modded IL2 happily - Just wish I hadn't spent full price on COD and given that to the modder sites instead.
