Yeah i have an i7 quad core(the low end) and it  hardly uses any thing of its power. While playing fh2 its runs at about 10%capacity while idle or running Mozilla it stands ready at 1%. In other words its to soon for them to really be used. I like this card Ninvidia Geforce 9800 gtx+ 1gb i pick it up for 120$ and i can play fh2 on two monitors on max(well fh2 and a game equivalent)!

^Quick conversion, roughly $700 in US dollars, not counting shipping or whatever.

Also, ouch, I didn't know the Euro was worth that much more the Dollar now...

Computer parts are cheaper in the US. You don't mean shipping cost between Europe and US do you ?
And yes in the near future I will buy the whole U.S. trade deficit for just one euro  :P

No, I just ran 484 Euros through the Google Currency Exchange and rounded the number (it was actually $692 and some cents), then posted the result.

Apparently, I'm trying to be helpful, but I'm failing miserably in that regard.  That's at least the second false or misleading information I've posted today accidentally.

Maybe I should stop posting for a while...

Whats the problem?

if your machine is store bought it will have a bunch of crap running in the background eating up ram and small amounts of processing power each(more ram will be used than cpu power). to check that press control+ alt+ delete, it should start the task manager and then select processes and that should show a list of background tasks, close as many as it will let you, except for explorer. . your computer shouldn't have trouble running fh2, how does it run bf2?

a quick way to check to see if more ram is needed is to close explorer, and under the task menu/bow select new task and run the fh2.exe fro m within it, windows explorer eats up a few mega bytes but if you see a change in fps you know your culprit and can save some euros.

O btw i learned that obamas stimulus package gives me a small tax rebate because my psu is gold on the energy rating :) .
