    Thought this would be a good place to collaberate systems and see what is the bare minimum for running the COD4 Demo.

    List Specs on your rig like this (Using mine for example purposes):

    1. CPU - Core 2 Duo 3.0 w/ Overclock
    2. 2 GBs PC2 6400
    3. 2 x 7950 w/512 MBs each in SLI

    Now enter COD4 Demo and type in this command into the Console (Console can be turned on in the Options of the game. Press the ( ~ ) key to access the console):

    /cg_drawfps 1

    This will enable the Frames Per Second (FPS) so you can see what you are getting. Any thing over 30 consistently is good, as your eye cannot notice anything higher. Anything lower then that and you will want to lower your Video options.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Here is a Screenshoot of my FPS with the Video Options maxed out:

    is there a line I can place on the target line of my desktop icon to always turn on fps? Some thing like: "+seta cg_drawfps 1" ???

    Can you force fps? Mine was running at 75-76 when I was trying out the new dedicated box...

    You mean in cod2? if so, I believe that would be:
    /seta com_maxfps 125

    where 125=the fps you enter

    can force what your max is.. but never your minimum.. you cant just brute force your way into getting whatever number you want :)

    if you dont know for sure your video card:
    start->run->dxdiag then it should say somewhere up top what video card you have.. (or check in display)

    with an 8300 you should be perfect..?
    are you able to run the demo?

    Yeah...you should be fine...

    Freddy...you are such a slut... How you liking that 8800? Nice huh? You runnng Vista 64 Bit with that 4GB RAM? What MOBO you have to get that OC on your e6600? you have almost a .80 GHZ OC on it. it must be 1333 FSB atleast.

    I want one of those so badly.
