I am assuming the 33 means 3.3ghz, i hope I'm right. I just had a 5 year old system kill itself and it was equipped with a 2.8ghz AMD chip so it would seem reasonable. With 4 GB of RAM I am very surprised that you are having bad performance issues with IL2 in Win7. How much space do you have left in the HD? What type of graphics card are you running? The only time that IL2 has done what you are describing to me is when my BIOS stopped reading my 512MB 8600GT and would only run through the on board (4MB) setup.

I have Win7 on my new laptop and besides IL2 not running in wide screen I have had no problems even with a mod install. But, it takes 30GB from the HD for its own private fun house and consistently uses 1.3GHZ of RAM when idle. It eats resources like crazy, but i do feel its better then Vista, IMHO. I really like the separate Program Files (x86) for running 32-bit programs, seems to make it more Sakai friendly then Vista.

These are the specs for my laptop and u can compare to ur rig to see if u need more power;

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Pentium® Dual-Core CPU T4400 @2.20GHz
3 GB RAM
Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (graphics) :evil:

This setup runs IL2 '46 modded online, so it should be a good base to compare too, and its not high end at all! :roll:
