Bump RAM definitely.
Vid card...if you can get a good and cheap upgrade by the swap around...go for it! Edit: I am playing on a Barton Core 2800+, 1 GB PC2700 (333 MHz), Radeon 9700 Pro on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (Nforce2)....so our systems are similar. I play at 1024 x 768 at high detail level and it plays fine....just wish I could get my joystick tweaked for use with the Jet. Heli with KB/Mouse I have down pat. |

I play it nightly and it's very smooth. I will say that before the Nforce2 drivers that Nvidia released a few months ago I had it at lower settings to keep it smooth. Since then I am at high detail and it runs very nicely. But then all I do is game on this machine...no web browsing or anything else at all so there's no issues with spyware/malware or any of the other things that steal system resources when you're trying to game.

Yeah, with those specs you should be able to turn BF2 to high settings at 124x768, though only having 512MB of ram will lead to some serious stuttering on the larger maps.
My specs: Athlon 64 3500+ ATI x800XL (PCI Exp) 2 Gigs of DDR400 I run BF2 at 1024x768 w/ Medium Ani and 2x AA All other settings are maxed. I'm not sure exactly what fps I get, but it's smooth; I could probably increase my settings if I felt like it. |

My temps run stable all night and all day. The cooling scheme I got is very dynamic so I don't have overheating problems. I use this onboard sound thing. It's like a 6-channel conglomerated thing-a-mabob. I am by no means an audiophile, as long as it doesn't sound like a Peavey Guitar Amp. Okay... so boot the onboard sound, and double the ram. :P.... |

Knifing! Who here likes knifing? I've got my Veteran knife badge now. Every time I see someone running through the grass with their back to me, I HAVE to stab them. I can't help it now. I'm addicted. I love going to Sharqi peninsula, running in the big building and knifing everyone up there.

I only have a gig of ram though. I run everything at high, and draw distance at max. I keep Anisotropic filtering on sorta low 'cause I can't notice the difference, and anti-aliasing on 2x because if it's any higher it lags the shit out of my compy when the map first loads, for some reason. Oh, and if anyone plans on mapping for Battlefield, make sure you have more than a gig of ram. The editor has devoured all of my ram on more than one occasion. :| |

No "OMG GOOGLE n00B!" this time for you. Yeah, the nforce2 drivers should do it for you. They are pretty much universal. |

Bought it today. Played for a bit and its pretty good so far. Even with my computer as it is, it runs really smooth. I think the only time its really jerky is right as I connect. I suck though.
I played for about an hour and half and finally decided enough was enough when i knifed my teammate. Beat that. |

Just so everyone knows, battlefield is only 1/37th as much fun if you're not playing with someone else in the room. (So, as much fun as you're having alone, multiply it by 37. Battlefield is a good game )
Keep this in mind. Maybe we should organise a FF-board lan party. But where? To answer this, figure out how to do a least mean square distance curve fit over a sphere. Then party on the curve, bitches. |

agh! i really want to put mines to good use, but theyre too suseptible to TKs.... i was sitting out the back of a chopper just now repairing when necessary and throwing AT mines out the back upon capping a point... except the pilot decided he was gonna lose control, flew backwards and crashed into my mine, which detonated, blew the chopper up, killing all the crew members (my squad), and i consequently got banned for TKing....
the common situation is where you mine a bridge to buggery in advance of a convoy, except some self proclaimed leetboy spec ops in a jeep drives off over the bridge towards the enemy base for the artillery or whatever.. you blow him up with the bridge to kingdom come, despite the BIG RED SKULL AND CROSSBONES GLYPHS over each AT mine, and yet he punishes you for the TK :/ i really do wish mines and claymores made team members suicide kill, just for the shear stupidity on their part |

yeah a lot of people are hoping they're gonna sort that issue out with the next patch cause it is annoying.
I tend not to use mines at all just because of the number of TK's you get. |

if it wasnt for the fucktards that dont understand mines....
....yes these things are things that fucking hurt when you drive over them, they go boom, you die etc aircraft shouldnt be affected by anti tank mines anyway... hell even jeeps and stuff are debatable depending what mines they actually are meant to be. as for claymore mines.. they should have a bit more setting up to them. if im not mistaken, theyre triggered by means of a trip wire, as opposed to proximity. they also have a range of about 75m, which is significantly reduced in BF2 |

Claymores do remote detonate, trip wires and proximity.
