It's more than a match for my laptop. Runns really choppy, even after dumming it down.

My CPU 2.1 ; required 2.4

I tried a campaign. Once I got up there with the other planes, the sound started to lag really bad.

Just curious. Why buy it if you knew by the game specs you don't have the rig that can play it ?

Money would have been better spent upgradeing computer imho.

Didn't really notice that part. My other high spec games run just fine on my laptop, so I didn't even think to look.

It just gives me an excuss to up grade my desk top.

I can get a free i7 chip, but I need to buy a new motherboard and RAM. MB >$250 , RAM around $150.

or

I could get an AMD chip that would work with my am2 MB and a new graphics card.

Stoopid upgrades. My laptop has done great until RoF.

I've just bought RoF too. And I can't use the sodding thing!! . I went through the lengthy install process, including the download of a huge patch. Then the registration process . Thought that I would get an activation link via email by way of an auto-response. Nope. I've now been waiting all morning and no sign. Can't even get onto the RoF forums as it will not let me in. Mightily pissed right now
