    Processor: Core 2 Duo 3.0 ghz
    Memory: 2GB for XP / 4GB for Vista/7
    Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible video card with 1GB, AMD 5770, NVidia GTX 450 or better

    You gpu and cpu and both under the recommended specs. It will probably not run as well as you want.

    He had a better cpu and look at his performance. 2.2 ghz is really low for this game.

    Unless you do some overclocking to both your GPU and CPU I don't think it's going to be pretty. This next large update should do some serious optimization so maybe try then.

    That athlon x2 is dinosaur bro, your best bet is probably to buy a phenom 2 if you have an am3 motherboard. Hell even some am2 mobo supports phenoms, check with your motherboard manufacturer

    I wouldn't expect more than 10FPS, especially in combat, with that CPU. Sadly.

    That's pretty much my system.

    If I turn all the graphics to minimum, and turn of Vsync I get 100+FPS.

    If you can overclock your CPU to around 3GHz, you may be able to run it with 20-40fps on the lowest graphics.

    I have a similar graphics card. I however have a 2.8ghz processor that can turbo boost up to 3.2ghz i believe. When the system is cool (its a laptop) I get about 30 fps in early game on 640x480 resolution and all the settings on low. After a few hours of playing Ill get from 15-25 fps at various points in the game.

    Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285

    For comparison this gives me 40-45 FPS in 1920x1080 with everything on low and infestation on rich.
    I noticed that it doesn't do any difference if i turn the infestation between rich or low.

    20 FPS at 1080p, with AA, AF, Ambient Occlusion, Shadows off, while recording with fraps.

    How do I edit these things, so I can throw it on youtube and embarass myself?

    FPS while not recording? If it's way higher, your HDD setup is ######ty, you shouldn't loose much FPS if that is setup properly to write to a separate HDD, which generally needs to be 2 in raid 0 for 0 FPS loss. Also, dxtory is prefered imo as it doesn't lock your FPS to recording framerate. If you don't have the capability to raid 0 or record to a separate HDD (or big HDD) but have a good upload speed I recommend setting up Dxtory with Open Broadcaster Software and then upload that live stream (twitch.tv) clip to youtube, works great imo as long as you don't mind lower resolution videos.

    If all that ###### is in order, just play at low, especially turn off Ambient Occlusion.

    It's a 30-50 FPS hit to record with Fraps.

    I'm on one HDD, partitioned, and I'm pretty sure it's under or at 7200RPM

    Just benchmark 20 min of gameplay with fraps. That's the best way to get a well-rounded idea of how much fps you get on average.

    This is a pretty old system from about 2006/7, so 7 years old now. I would expect around 20fps or less.

    Really? Any idea on the details of this optimization?

    2x4GB DDR3 1600
    2x AMD Radeon HD5770 1GB Crossfire'd

    I get about 40 fps on average in game, sometimes this dips down to 20 and gets pretty bad but don't worry because i get about 90 in the ready room! My problem is the 30-40ms wait for gpu when my fps drops so i'll probably upgrade my gpus sometime soon until i have the money to upgrade the rest.

    1920x1080, everything on low incl. infestation.

    I get ~20 FPS less in Commander mode.
    I average around 30-40 with everything on except for AA, and AF.

    Definitely playable.

    With everything off(The biggest hit is shadows), I get around 50-70 FPS, depending on what's going on(The more turrets/whips/crags/etc, the lower my framerate).
    Surprisingly, infestation doesn't seem to have put a huge hit in my framerate.
