My theory behind why BF2 is very laggy

[Ali G]

A Rube Goldberg machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. Rube devised and drew several such pataphysical devices. The best examples of his machines have an anticipation factor. The fact that something so wacky is happening can only be topped by it happening in a suspenseful manner. The term also applies as a classification for generally over-complicated apparatus or software. It first appeared in Webster's Third New International Dictionary with the definition, "accomplishing by extremely complex roundabout means what actually or seemingly could be done simply."

so i think that the developers of BF2 used a lot of Rube Goldberg machine techniques, accomplishing simple tasks with complex steps..which requires more ram and thus makes the game lagg.

It used to be laggy b 4 my new putter. It all had to do with a proc with slow FSB. The more FSB the more your putter can think.
