We were hacked. Several times over the past two weeks, in fact.
While all passwords are encrypted and salted, it's recommended that you change your password here when you can.
Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
Probably the minimum spec to play BF2 on high SMOOTHLY

Well...BF2 is a GPU/Memory depandant game...
my recommendations:
CPU: AMD Athlon 3200-3500+ = You play other games than BF2 probably, chances are. Still need a decent CPU for some of the newer games...
Memory: 2GB for everything up. Still kinda dependant on what video card. 1.5 is a good number for some system configurations.
Video Card: 6800GT AGP/ 6800 256mb edition/6800GS on PCI-E, or ATI x8xx series with 256 mb of Vram, or better - allows you to play at high with 1.5/2gb of ram. For even higher FPS, a 7800/X1800 series card will definately do the trick.
Hard Drive - not a big variable, but a good, fast and defragmented hard drive will keep things running smooth in-game
Sound Card - Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS or X-FI - off load the sound componant off the CPU to the sound card - it does help significantly.
the sound is not that big of a deal as i run with onboard sound no problem, even at medium settings it sounds fine.
also, why would you recommend a 6800vanilla? a 6600gt will beat that.

You have to be mentally ill if you think a 6600GT beats a 6800 vanilla.
did you even look at the link i listed? and i may be mental but according to the link i provided, it shows the 6600gt beating a 6800vanilla in more than one setting

GRAPHIC CARD- This is the most important, the 6800GS is probably the minimum (6600GT just dont cut it in my opinion, but some people may disagree).
Those cards have nearly identical performace on stock settings. One has more pipelines, the other has higher clocks.
Why a Dual Core? BF2 doesn't even use Dual Cores.
Nvidia is starting to optimize their drivers for dual cores, so yes in a way it does help. It will keep getting better too.
As for the 6600GT, it only comes with 128mb RAM. It would probably be fine compared to the normal 6800 as long as you set a high aperature and had lots of RAM.

How is the Radeon X1800?
It's okay, but it is kinda sad that ati's newest generation of cards is pretty much equal to nvidia's, except the 7xxx series came out about 6 months ago.

How??? In many many benchmarks, the 6800GS come near identical to the 6800GT. There is a big gap between the 6600GT and 6800GT. Therefore the 6800GS is a much better card? Yes?

espion is referring to the 6800, not a 6800gt, not a 6800gs, just a plain vanilla 6800.
