    Do you have a sound card? If not, get an Augidy2 ZS. Its relatively cheap (cheaper then system memory). Your setup should allow you to have max or near max settings.

          Or for the waste, depends upon which way you look at it. I have 1GB of RAM and have never had an issue with BF2.

            The "high" on textures eats RAM like totilla-chips. I will upgrade on 2 Gigs, too. At the beginnig of a new round on a new map my HDDs work like crazy and there are lags - I think it´s using the outsourced memory on the HDDs too much with 1 Gig only.

              Go from 1 gig to 2 gigs then tell me it's a waste.

                  I'm sure yours runs it fine, go to 2 gigs and see the difference yourself. It's not like I'm making this **** up. Eh, some people just like to argue....

                      DDR2 does not mean anything, DDR2 just allows for higher clock speeds, other then that, there is no difference.

                            Get a better processor 3.2 ghz is good but AMD processors just out class the intel pent 4's. I suggest AMD 3800+ or higher.
