    2GB RAM, really that nessercary?

    Do i REALLY need 2GB to run all settings HIGH?

    If that 1GB of PC 3200 RAM was backed up with a 7800GTX and a 3800+, would it make a difference?

    Im asking in GENERAL because i need a quick answer. Please understand mods!

    Thanks.

    if you have 1GB RAM and a 7800GTX plus a 3.8Ghz Processor. Then you should already be able to run everything on high. Of course there would be some improvement in load time with the 2GB RAM

      Yes it would make a difference. Would you notice it? Probably not.

            I have a 6600GT with a gig of ram and can run everything on high with no lag. Well no hardware related lag ... the occasional internet cause lag though hehe.

                    If you want to join the game when everyone else does, you need the 2 Gigs... with 1 Gig you will be starting late on the map and have no chance of getting any good vehicles.

                        ok this is why you dont post hardware problems in general cause of certain people, you definently need 2 gigs for good proformance on bf2 trust me.

                            with a 7800GTX and a 3.7Ghz cpu you won't have any performance in FPS .

                            But you will have performance in starting up, loading, no stutering start of rounds, .... .

                            For the record, if you have 2gig of ram and that system, you are best to use a SATA disc, IDE is to slow and would still give you longuer loading times because it can't fill up the ram fast enough

                              Yes...huge difference.

                              But things could change with v1.03. So, I'd wait if I were you.
