Hello,
I Built my computer one and half years ago. It has a Asus P5ND2 SLI Deluxe, 2 GBs of gaming Ram, 3.2 Duel core Extreme Edition OC to a 3.7 and one 7800 GTX OC 256MBs. PC power and Cooling 850Watts and a Gateway 24in running at 1920 1200, 16.9 I know it's not the best, but the PS3 has the same graphics card and 512mbs of ram. I was wondering why PC games ran so bad then. I heard this, since they know what specs the PS3 has they optomize the game for it better, People dont optomize games because they think new hardware will fix it all, They want you to spend $1500 and but Vista and a new Graphics Card with DX10 (otherwords there in it for the money) and they arnt beta testing them anymore. Call of Duty 4 runs great on my machine. Would a new Graphics Card alone fix this? Thanks!
Sincerely,
Jordan

Your current card is not bad, but at least th 8800gt will definitely help.
A lot more info goes into performance though.
DigitalStorm, Stacker 830, XP Pro sp2, nForce 680i SLI, Kentsfield OC'd 3.33ghz, 2gb, 2 8800GTX'S, X-FI Fatal1ty, 244T

From the specs you listed above, you'll get a more articulate response if you try to be more specific. As far as we know -- "your call of Duty 4 runs great" & it is a PC game. Unless we are clairvoyant, we have no way of telling what games you claim are running poorly.
Also COD4's official system requirement should clue you in that the game will run fine on any moderately okay gaming machine. So, stating that COD4 plays fine does not imply that you have a "great" gaming machine, nor should you expect every game including demanding titles to run smoothly at a great resolution.
