Are all your motherboard shipset/AGP/Smart GART drivers installed properly?
What motherboard do you have?

Re: bf2 runs like ass on my PC

Well i have a Intel 3.2 800 FBS, 1GB of ram, 74GB Raptor hard drive, X850XT AGP 256MB, and my system is doing well. But i am going to invest of getting another GB of ram though. I would recommend you run your PunkBuster updates (PBWeb) again if you have installed BF 1.02. Update your sound drivers and your video drivers. Make sure you do not have anything else running while playing. What would be a good idea is to run a program like Crap Cleaner to get rid of temp files, and to clean up your registry. i would also update your anti-virus programs and anti-spyware programs and run them. Make sure you do not have any bad things in your system. In your BF2 options you might want to set your audio to hardware as well.

Update your drivers, period.

Try installing the nVidia driver on the BF2 CD/DVD.

i have:

AMD 64 3400+ (2.4GHz)
Geforce 6800 128mb
1.5 gb pc3200
Audigy 2 value
Chaintech VNF3-250 nForce3 250
Windows XP Pro

and BF2 runs great.

You may want to check what background processes are running and stop all those that are not required. you may also want to check that your OS and all drivers are up to date. You did not list a sound card. If you don't have one you may want to get one. An Audigy 2 Value is around $60. Also how are you connecting to the Internet. I use cable and it's very fast. You may want to test your Internet connection to ensure that it is not suffering from packet lost or high latency. Finally you are not telling us exactly what your problem is. What exact problem are you having? Have you tried running Frap to check you frame rate. If you are not running Windows XP and are Running someother version of Windows switch to Windows XP, it's around $100 to switch to the Home Edition. If your running Windows XP 64 bit OEM edition, your nuts!

NEVER do the above, it is the noobs way out of fixing pc problems & you will never learn anything about your rig or how to fix it, also unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing you risk screwing your rig completely.

Re: bf2 runs like ass on my PC

dont forget to checkout the tweak thread. cut down on un-needed services running, defraging with a real utility such as pefectdisk helps too since it can defrag your pagefile.

Re: bf2 runs like ass on my PC

Before you screw up your already fine working computer with the above options, might I recommend something a little less. Delete your video card driver, delete the entire BF2 folder in my documents, [it will refresh when u restart the game again, saves the uninstall/reinstall bs]. Empty recycling bin, reboot, Use driver cleaner per its instructions, google it, reboot, reinstall video driver. Also TURN OFF VERTICAL SYNC in video card options. When you restart the game CHANGE NOTHING. See how it does.
