i know iv made a few post on here before about my performance issues with il2 but im not seeming to get anywhere.
when i built my new computer back in july of 09 il2 ran great. iv updated alot of components since then. such as my RAM and video card,
my specs current are
Core 2 duo E8400 3.0ghz
4GB of RAM
GTX 460 1GB
windows XP

when i first built my computer i had an old 9600 GT and 2 GB of PC5200 ram or something like that.

i later went to a 9800GTX+ and used that up till about 3 months ago.
it seems like my computer could be just aging but iv spent a lot of money on upgrading things and i do keep my computer very clean. i run all the necessary malware,spy ware and virus scans along with registry cleaning. so i just dont feel like my computers putting out all its got with il2. other games run well like i think they should.

its kinda sad how i had to stop flying with my squad for the night tonite because of the performance i was getting in Spitsvs109s..
iv tried almost every tweak i can think of. i did try fireskulls wonderful guide, despite the great information i didnt get much improvement with my system.

heres my config ini
