    Running COD4 on my crappy system

    Is it safe to assume that if I am able to play the single player game that I should be able to run the multiplayer? Or is so much more processsing power required when you have 20+ people online at the same time vs you alone in the SP game.

    The only info that I found online is the following

    Minimum
    Processor: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or faster / AMD64 2800+ or faster
    Memory: 512 MB RAM (XP) or 768 MB RAM (Vista)
    Video Card: GeForce 6600 / Ati Radeon 9800Pro or better
    Hard Drive: 8GB

    Recommended
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Duo Core or faster
    Memory: 1.0 GB RAM (XP) or 2.0 GB RAM (Vista)
    Video Card: GeForce 7800 / Ati Radeon X1800 or better
    Hard Drive: 8GB

    Twinky
    Processor: AMD64 2800+
    Memory: 1.5g ram (mix of PC3200 and PC2700)
    Video Card: Ati Radeon 9800Pro 256mb
    Hard Drive: I think I can fit 8g if I delete some, uh, extra files.

    My "issue" (other than having a crappy PC) is that I believe the UT3 minimum requirements were similar to COD4 and UT3 was unplayable on my older system (AMD Tbred 2.x ghz, 1g ram, sapphire radeon 7800pro 128mb), which is not too far off my current system

    Thoughts from you experts?
    [this is where my funky sig would go. But I don't have one.
    So all you get is this crappy text]

    COD4 is a lot easier on your system than UT3. I'm hitting 60+FPS with everything on max @ 1680x1050. What resolution will you be using?

        easy way is turn on fraps. It will show you fps without recording or anything. Gives a good idea walking around to see how bad your drops are. Lag vs system performance.

          cg_drawFPS 1 (IIRC)

          Twinky, you'll have to turn off pretty much all the eye-candy, but I think you should be able to run it. Try the demo yet? BTW, go get a new harddrive buddy, only 8 gigs free ???

            2 GB Ram

                +1 Mine is usually low 60-70s on TF2, but on COD4 it's 120+

                  MY HD has more than 8g free...it has 14 lol.
                  Its only a 120g HD.

                  If its less intensive than UT3, I should be ok. I'll go as low as 1024x768 but would prefer running in 1280x1024.
