like going into the system files to make it so that BF2 uses more RAM, thus is faster (maybe?) i don't no too much about comps

Battlefield 2 will use up whatever free physical emmory that is avaliable and allocate any extra resources to the system pagefile.
Manually allocating RAM will only be detrimental to the OS IMO.

Well, I might be able to suggest something..I don't know if it actually WORKS for Windows XP but:

Start->Run-> type in 'msconfig'->Enter

Select the 'System.ini' tab

Select [386enh]

Click the 'New' button on the right

Type in 'ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1' (without quotes) in the box

Hit 'Ok'

Close all windows and reboot.

This supposedly encourages Windows to use up your RAM before resorting to using the swap file.

If you have a small amount of RAM (512 MB) this probably won't help you at all.
