    I'm using Intel Core Duo T2300 (1.66 GHz/2MB L2 Cache), GMA950 and 1.0GB DDR2 SDRAM @533 MHz. I'm wondering whether I'm able to play this game or not? Lowest setting or something?

    Don't think so... You need a dedicated card to play, or at least to play it well.

    No, BF2 nor BF2142 will play on a GMA 950, at all.

    Agreed.
    You need a dedicated card to play BF2142.

    Yeah. Medium/high settings. Get another gb of ram, and you can bump a couple more options to high.

    You don't need a dedicated card to run BF2142 but it is recommended. The GMA950 however is not good enough to run either BF2 or BF2142.

    You need a bit of power for all the adware and no widescreen support...

    Erm, what what the question again?
