Player looking for squad (not for squads to post looking for players!)

[Player looking for squad (not for squads to post looking for players!)]

Hi All-

I am a 30 year old mature gamer in the US, and have been playing Arma2 for a few months now mostly SP. I play Mp from time to time, but find that only a few people communicate and I often don't know what to do. I would gladly take advice from more experienced players, but looking for a group that is interested in serious but fun play.

Thanks!

[What to Upgrade?]

Hi all,

Just getting into ARMA 2 OA and such. Enjoying it so far, but I feel like I am not getting the maximum performance with my system. I can't figure out what the bottleneck is.

CPU - I7 running 3.8GHZ

GPU - Single Radeon 4890

RAM - 6GB

OS - Win 7 64bit

HDD - Can't remember off hand, but pretty much standard WD HDD

MOBO - EVGA X58

It's not so much that the game does not run smooth....I run basically on High settings but not max by any means. The game (especially multiplayer) seems to be stuttering a lot and trees and such are drawing slowly as I move.

I am considering an upgrade of sorts, possibly to a Radeon 5850 or 5870, but not sure if it's worth it....perhaps a SSD would help more

Any suggestions?
