New PC
IrishReloaded:
well, as I dont have any knowledge, and I asked the whats better the 140€ intel oder 140€ amd he said amd bla bla- I think for me it will do the job, most important for me is that it lives the next 3-4 years ^^

Last week I bought an FX 4100.
Why? I needed a quad-core and none of the local PC shops had any decent Phenom II's in stock.
My Phenom II x2 555 BE couldn't keep up with BF3, even when OC'ed to almost 3.9GHz.
From what I've read, you can easily squeeze 800-1000MHz more out of the 4100.
I set it to 4.4, but my mobo has shocking Vdroop (1.376 idle, 1.296 under load >:( ), so I had to bump up the voltage to make it stable.
Overall I'm happy with my baby Bulldozer, it does the job I bought it for, it's more power efficient, and it cost over 70 bucks less than the Phenom II 1090T I was looking at... :)

Even with my new system FH2 loads as slow/fast as with my old system-
Is the HDD the one that is limiting the loading speed of FH??
DLFReporter:
Oh yes, in BF2 terms it's all about RAM and HD speed, as that's where all the traffic is generated during map loading. The textures are shuffled from your HD to your RAM. Only HDs with 32MB Cache and 7200RPM or a SSD can help here.
IrishReloaded:
ok as I have enough ram that is not the problem - just the HDD seems to be it- well could be worse
