    2.2GHZ
    1GB RAM
    NVIDIA 6200 256MB RAM AGP

    What kind of graphics will this run on bf2 all medium? Low?

    DONT touch the 6200 series, it's waaaay to underpowered for this game, you need a 6600GT minimum, buying anything less is false economy!
    Get 2gb of ram too, it makes a world of difference from 1gb.

    A 6200 is the equivalent of a radeon 9200 series & they are crap too.

I cant pay £120 for a 6600GT im not someone who wants to run the game on high and say oh look at my great pc i dont really care about what the pc does as long is plays the game without problems. And also i dont have a pci-w slot in a couple of years i will then buy a brand newsuper computer.

        You can pick up a 6600 on ebay for around £70, far better to spend the extra 20 quid, i'm only trying to help, if you want to waste your money & you've made up your mind then why bother asking here?

                        the 6600 vanilla (256mb of course) is not better than the GT, but can run the game fine at medium settings even with 512 ram, even though for medium I highly suggest 1GB. I had a 6600 vanilla AGP 256mb with 512 mb ram a while back and it could play at medium fine.

                        The x600pro 256mb can also play at medium flawlessly maybe even a tiny bit higher. My friend has a x600 all in wonder, a gig of ram and plays at medium perfectly, Ive seen it.


                        the x700pro is good too, but dont go with it. WHATEVER you do, dont go with the 6200. The card is not good for bf2, and even though there might be a problem with a couple radeon cards, going up to a 6200 wont help lol. I would wait, or figure out the problem, or go with one of those cards. Let me see what we can get with 50 pounds....

                          6600 ought to do fine if you don't want to spend extra money on a GT

                            If you decide to get a vanilla 6600, make sure it's the ddr2 version.
