is performance in demo same as full game?

hi, after being a flashpoint and then arma fan, i thought i'd have no chance running arma 2 on my rig (x2 3800, 2 gig ram, radeon x1900, win xp) but i downloaded the demo off steam and have spent the night with a smile on my face :D

i only get 17 in the benchmark test, but had no crashes and tried every mission.

there were a few stutters and texture load problems, but no show stoppers.

so i'm wondering, is the full game likely to give me the same performance, or is there no chance of that because the gameworld is much larger, because if it is i'll be getting my copy pronto!

i didn't try it with my joystick or trackir, but assume they won't effect performance as they don't in fsx.

(edit) just had a crash to desktop lol, thought it was going too well

you might have to lower a few settings like view distance and terrain detail; but with the latest beta performance has signifacantly increased since the demo version (1.02). you might throw out some pc specs to give us a better idea ;)

Between 1.02 and the latest beta i can up resolution and graphics and still have better performance than 1.02. ;)
