      Re: Settings

      In order for you to get all high settings you need atleast another 512 ram and a better graphics card. card with 256mb importantly!, x800 xl 256mb I can run all high smoothly but i have to have 1.5gig ram , gl

        Re: Settings

        You'll never be able to run even mid settings with that PC. Celeron is about the worst processor you could choose. But, if I were you, I'd upgrade your vid card to a 6600GT, that MIGHT allow you to turn some settings up to mid. It costs around $140 for one of those right now I think. But the rest of your system is very mediocre, so I wouldn't invest TOO much in upgrades. For example, it would be pointless for you to get, say, a 7800GT video card.

        And don't listen to the guy above me, don't get more RAM because you'll still be bottlenecked by the junky processor. And if you do, get 1GB so you can run it in dual channel mode. Getting only an extra 512 is almost pointless.

        You'd be best served by updating your video card.

          No one should need 1.5Gb to run this game. The majority, based on posts in this forum, are getting along on medium with 512 and high with 1Gb.

          It's really the gfx card that's holding you up. The lowest on the BF2 readme.txt is the NVidia GeForce FX 5700 and while the 5500 works fine, you won't be able to play on medium.

              They don't have anything to do with each other.

              But if you put a full-stop after the word 'video' they it changes the meaning of the sentence and I think yo're asking if you need a new motherboard.

              It's difficult to tell without knowing what chipset you have at the moment !

                  CS-Evolution is right.
                  The Celeron is a pretty slow processor, I would put my money there...
                  But if you have the guts, you can always try to overclock it. (Be sure to have good cooling if you do)

                      Your motherboard is fine. It can support the Pentium 4 chip. Just quote the code "LGA775" if ever you want to upgrade the processor but want to keep the motherboard. LGA775 is the format of the processor.

                        well theyll say "ive got all settings maxed with only aaset to 4x and lighting at medium" or all settings are high with (blank) and (blank) on medium.... thats not running on high, If u say that then u DONT HAVE ALL SETTINGS ON HIGH! .

                        im talking high EVERYTHING 6xaa 100% viewdistance your gonna need 1.5 gig atleast to run smoothly.

                          Yep, I think this is correct. I do run everything at high, AA and AF on 8x - and BF2 normally uses 900-1100MB of RAM. Add in the 2-300 MB Windows users, and you'll see that it DOES make use of that extra RAM.

                          PS: I've got 2GB of total RAM, but never seen the total RAM usage go over 70-80%.

                            I second that. Been running the game with 1GB RAM: playable but jerky when a round starts. I have now 2GB and it's smooth as silk (3200+, 6600GT, 1280x1024, 2xAA, everything on high except textures and dyn. lights (both med.)).

                              2gb of RAM recomended. For me it made a dif. between 1 and 2. You need at least a 6600gt or x800gt to play nicely, but a 6800gt/x800xl is recomended.
