So, coh/cov is less enjoyable for me because of major lags in big teams and high populated areas, so i decided its time to buy a new computer.
How will these computer specs handle coh/cov? will there be any noticeable lag or low framerate in 8 man teams or high populated places?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 1333Mhz

Well currently i'm running a Pentium D 2.8g, 2GB of Ram and a GeForce 8600 GT and i can run both CoV/H on maximum with no hangups so you should have no problem at all.

The hardware you have should be fine. The expectation of a total lack of Lag though is uncertain. Areas such as city hall in Atlas Park, Talos Island, Rikti Attacks, Hami Raids or standing in Wentworths can still Lag. Your Internet connection among other things can contribute to Lag. Cable broadband is a little More prone to this due to the nature of it's design. DSL or a Fractional T1 are a personal pipeline to the internet whereas cable broadband is based on an old Token Ring/Thin Net system where your neighborhood Shares a set amount of bandwidth. At heavy traffic hours, nights or weekends for instance, your bandwidth drops based on the number of active users. I have a 3MB dsl and a good gaming spec PC and still encounter occasional lag.

System itself should be fine.
The bottleneck causing lag will for you be Network.
Only things you can do about that are:
A) Play cabled, not wireless.
B) Have a decent Internet Connection.
Even then you are liable to see the occasional lag due to:
1) Server-side lag
2) Other people's network issues making you/the server wait on them.

Oh, I remember that site. had to check it out for a company I worked for. It's legit and pretty accurate. Your data does get used, but for once it really is anonymous up to a regional level.
I.e. when you run the test, they'll know someone in your State/country bought that rig, but not that it's me.
Game developers mine the data thus gathered to get an idea of what kind of rigs people have, so they take that into account during development.
