New Upgrade

[dfunk]

Im going to order some new parts this weekend for the rig, I was wondering what settings I would be able to run with the new hardware once it comes.

Here are the specs:
AMD Athlon 2800+ XP
1gb Ram
6800gs 256mb

Thanks for the help when it comes :)

the only thing i have to say is why did you by an athlon xp when the 64s are cheap and perform better. besides that i think you should be able to run medium settings alright. sorry to be negative. congrats on your new hardware. i love the feeling of getting new hardware.

which parts did you order, and which did you previously own?

with that, I would say medium, and maybe a couple settings on high. the processer will bottleneck a little, and the ram is good, but not "enough" medium and a few high should be about right. If I could make a suggestion either get more ram or a better processer or both. I know its hard since you probably have a socket A or like old mobo, so I dunno, but its just a suggestion. you can probably get a nforce4 mobo with integrated nvidia 6100 graphics and a amd athlon 3200+ (with your gig of ram) for about 300$. and you will be able to play bf2 on LOW, with the 6100 integrated, and then you can upgrade the vid card later, but congratz on the buy.
