ok, basically i get a TON of lag, frames per second lag that is, not internet, in both singleplayer and multiplayer, i can run cod4 at 125fps smooth maybe dipping to 90 sometimes, i can run farcry2 with all settings on "high" at 40fps minimum... how on earth could cod5 drop the fps down to 5? well... its not really constantly 5 its a 30....5...2...5....30 sorta thing i get this lag spike once every 5 or 6 seconds, it can last 2 seconds it can last 2 minutes its seemingly completely random, all maps iv played, also i played the beta with no lag what so ever so im assuming its a software issue not hardware.

running windows vista ultimate, hardware as follows;
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs) ~2.8GHz
Memory: 2046MB RAM
Hard Drive: 326 GB Total
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512MB
so yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT~ oh yeah, i have tryed useing all low settings, all high and everything inbetween, it doesnt seem to change how long or how frequent the lag spikes are.
