    ok well heres the story
    For christmas i got a 512mb ram stick that is made for my dell demension 3000 so i have 1.024 gigs of ram and i got a radeon 9250 pci 256 mb graphics card now i know bf2 doesn't support it but i've been trying for 3 days striaght trying to make it work i've downloaded everything i could find but it seems like it is just screwing up my comp. The first day i installed the card and the ram my taskbar just vanished so my father and i ended up whipping the partition and making a new one and loaded microsoft XP pro that his office gave him to use. now everything works but now i can't play some games. I can play the doom 3 demo and it looks awesome i can play the quake 4 demo and its insane but when i load up BF2 or Wolfenstein ET it crashes. And i can't even run catalyst it says it has an error.when i load up BF2 i see the ads and skip the video and when it gets to the screen where it says "welcome to duty" it freezes and then goes black and sometimes shows up with just the cursor and then it disapears and then the login screen shows up then it goes black after about 30 seconds i've gotten to a loading map screen but it didn't show the screen again after it said it was at 46 percent plz help i've had this game and SF for over 3 days and still have yet to play it i can't take it PLZZZ HELP. This graphic card is like rapeing my comp please help

        If your computer doesn't meet the minimum specs, don't expect to play.

            Your graphics card (9250) is unsupported.

              yea thanks for the help i just spent most of the night finding what i can do and i found some fourms where you can do some stuff and it says for the PCI users of radeon 9250 that you need to install catalyst 5.4 and turn the agp setting to x4 instead of x8 someone should make a sticky about that before everyone who has a radeon 9250 goes and replaces it i'm going to try it now and i'll post how it goes

                Yes, you need to ensure AGP 4X is running and working.

                Install updated motherboard drivers if that helps.

                          dudes ok well in the smartgart option theres an agp read and write as well as pci read and write Doih' idoits don't say its imposible anyways Ea has to support it because its greater then 8500 isn't it the box says in print Radeon 8500 or greater and has to have 128mb and the one i have is 9250 and 256mb i think it meets the standards so it isn't imposible

                          thanks for anyone who helped




                          oh and btw %$^& you EA and have a merry %$^#%$^ christmas $#%#^%#$

                            Yea I had a 9250 when I first got the game and couldn't past the BF2 login screen. So I went and got a GEforce 5500. Much better. Overall, whether it be low end or high end, Nvidia cards seem to be friendlier to BF2
