    Well, for the Notebook in your signature with the HD 3650 (DDR2 VRAM) Call of Duty 4 will play well at 1280x800 with High textures, 'Depth of Field' and 'Specular Map' enabled, but with no Anti-Aliasing, Shadows, 'Glow' or 'Soften Smoke Edges'. If you want shadows, then you'll have to drop the resolution to 1024x768 (unless you're happy with lower framerates). I've overclocked my HD 2600 a bit past the standard speed for the HD 3650, and these are the settings I use, which gets a good smooth framerate (feels like at least 30fps).

    feels like? not good enough! :p

    just enable the fps monitor, type /cg_drawfps 1 in the console. i may be a little more hardcore about fps games though, cant deal with anything lower than 50 :(

    1280*1024, no AA, 4*AF, Everything set to normal in the graphics options, everything set at normal (or medium, can't remember) in the textures options.

    I don't think cod4 has a 'medium',I believe they use Normal instead. :)

    setting most things to "normal"....

    way to be overly picky.
