What is the native resolution of your LCD or are you using an external CRT? If you're using the LCD it would be best to use the native res if possible.

I run on my laptop with 1024 x 768 with 2xAA.

I have an X1600 256mb, for me it runs smoother with 2xAA, weird huh?

If you can play in 1024x768 with vertical black bars at the sides (i.e. display is not stretched to fit the wide screen) then I would do that instead of 800x600. If BF2 supported 1280x800 then I would say use that. It's generally best use an LCD at its maximum resolution. Some LCD panels do the scaling better than others but not as well as a CRT.

the advantage that 1024x768 has over 800x600 is that if u play full screen, the textures will be more stretched on the lower resolution one

example: take 2 pictures where one is very small and one is kindof big...if u make the small one as big as the bigger one, it will look alot blurrier

so 1024x768 will give me a better look than 800x600 +2xAA??

I play at 800x600 2xAA and decided to see if I could improve frames and look with 1024x768 No AA. I used FRAPS and found my performance was aroud 10fps lower with 1024x768 No AA. Also I like the softer look with AA, much easier on the eyes so I'm staying with 800x600 2xAA. I also tried the NVIDIA 91.47 drivers, the AA was not as smooth, so went back to 91.31 drivers. My card is pretty old, it's a 5900Ultra 256mb.
