  ram will be good
  the most important is to squeeze out all of your computer's juice by defragmenting

  Frankly, this video card cannot handle BF2 ,suggest you can get another video card, throw in at least one gig of Ram.Alternatively, if you have the moolah,you can build a new system.

  I suppose you are running on AGP for the graphics card right?
• tofushop193

  13 Dec 06, 00:34

  ya mine is AGP...
• orionlight

  13 Dec 06, 00:38

  I would recommend the Xpervision or Leadtek 7600GT AGP.Throw in another gig of ram and you are good to go.Here's the pricelist for you to do the sums

  but the 7600GT doesnt have AGP right...so do u think fine to stick to the XpertVision Radeon X1600 ?
• laoda99

  I won't spend more than 300 for a video card.
  
  Spend more than tat, might as well get a console.

  Nope the 7600GT does have AGP came out a few months ago just check the pricelist i would daresay the 7600gt trashes the x1600pro
