What about an E6600 and 4870HD?
I can't even remember when I bought this computer

Battlefield 3 no XP support
- Thread starter Nightglow
- Start date
ok good so if i get a GTX460 or higher i will notice a big performance boost to BFBC2 and BF3 should be very much playable (good fps)
im on a GTS250 now, i was 'hoping' that it would 'take off' when running a DX10 game, but i find DX9 mode seems to work better on my win7 boot (same FPS just not getting the random 'freeze' that i got under XP that happened after a patch)
also is a GTX460 the best option (also open to ATI cards now) or should i get a higher GTX card (~£100 budget, or £110 max net cost) or should i just wait untill it gets closer to the release date and get a card then?

ok i have 4 GB of RAM now, also faster ram (from 667 to 800), yet its still slower on win7 than on XP
Aero Glass still uses Resources so disable it every time you run a game by going to the games .exe, right click Properties, Compatibility tab & tick Disable desktop composition.
It will automatically Disable Aero Glass while the game is running & automatically re-enable Aero Glass when the game is shut down.
Depending on the game it can take a few seconds to re-enable Aero Glass.
Well my old system (E6600, 4gb Ram & a 4890) ran BC2 perfectly well. But it's all relative to the screen resolution.
1024x768 is going to strain a system a lot less than 1920x1200 for example.
