I would never get a Intel computer. I have always had AMD and AMD is way better for gaming. Intel has slow processor speed. I HATE slow processor speed. I bench marked and this one is much better then the other one.

Obviously, as the GeForce 6100 is quite an old one now so I wouldn't be surprised that my one is better

I have a 1-year old nvidia GTX 580 with 8GB of ram, and an old Intel Core2quad . I get about 45-50 fps with CCD maxed out (I maxed out the graphics settings just to enjoy Housemd_ro's ENB). I get above 60 fps with ETS 2, also maxed out. I can't wait for the time dad will give me his system. He assembles his PC's by himself. He uses an Intel Core i7 2600k overclocked to about 3.8GHz, with an SLI (dual) NVIDIA GTX 670 . I'll bet CCD will be like a dream with that setup .

I am using 40% traffic and get above 30 fps on my old laptop. I also seem to have found out that my laptop has dual graphics.

Cool What fps meter do you recommend, or is there one already installed on a Windows 7 computer? If so, where could I find it?

I also play using 80% traffic. For Windows 7, Fraps is the best. I use Wndows 8, so I can't use Fraps

I hate frapps. Bandican is the best. While recording you only get a 10 FPS difference. Way better then frapps.

I am able to use Fraps with Windows 8. I get around 30-40 fps when recording

Really? 'Cause my CCD crashes when I use fraps. Sometimes it works. And sometimes not. According to forums, it is not quite compatible with Windows 8.
