is ur processor from the Jurassic age?

umadbro?

Its obvious that your processor is the main bottleneck. A quick google search shows that those who used the same processor as yours (assuming that ur processor is E6600 judging by the clock speed) all suffer from low frame rate.

Its either you get a cheap LGA 775 quad core processor, or you can wait for ivy bridge to come out while u make do with what you have atm.

Or you can go grab a cheap i3 while waiting. It performs roughly on par with its i5/i7 brothers in BF3.
