Yeah, I do too. If you have a i5 you may be okay. It wasn't until Black Ops came out that I came to realization that I need to upgrade. Up until now, I have not had any issues playing any game, even the resource intensive Crysis. However, Black Ops has some large system requirements, mostly in processor. And by viewing that short clip of Battlefield 3 I can bet that the requirements will be more than Black Ops.
