Just got CoD4 and wondered if upgrading my graphics card would help. Current spec is:

shuttle sn25p
athlon 3800 x2 (the first version of it so prob has lower cache?)
2x1gb geil val ram
bfg 7800gt oc
standard seagate hdds
usb creative sound card that I'm not using atm - maybe this would help CoD performance?

I'm not sure if the cpu would slow up a new gfx card if I got one - probably look to get something from members market for about £50-£70.

So would a new graphics card actually help, or are other bits too old?
 
I kept default settings, apart from resolution - set it to 1024x768 but seemed a bit slow so put it back down to 800x600. I've got a 2nd monitor running, so I might see how the game fairs when I disable that.

thanks :)
 
my bios wont let me do more than 10.0 multiplier and I dont think the bus speed is too great. not sure I'll be able to go much past what I have atm - 10.0 x 215
