I'm presently running an AMD X2 4200+ processor (2.2 GHz) with an nvidia 7300 GT video card. I've already upgraded to 2 GB system RAM, and am wondering what the next best upgrade would be for running IL2. I can already run in perfect mode, but I do get slowdown in many situations - heavy flak, cities, lots of planes, etc.
The IT guy at my work recommends a new graphics card - based on the ATI Radeon HD 3870. Currently I can get a 512 MB card from Gigabyte using that chipset for $130.
On the other hand, with $130 I could also upgrade my processor to a 6000+ (3.0 GHz).
Which would make the biggest difference running IL2? Or should i just be happy with what I've got?
