    Probrably you may need to update the drivers.

    Also, it could be 3rd party programs which take your ram.

    Any specs on your comp?

    I'm not sure why you are having problems.

    I can run BF 2 for hours at a time.

    How hot is your rig getting? You may want to prop the back up with some bottle caps.

    If you want to play on our Dell XPS 2 BF 2 server hit the link in my sig.

    hay prowler: go to start, run, type in Dxdiag, when the screen comes up go to video and see what the driver details are for yur card. It should be like this but tell me exactly what it is incase i need to downgrade drivers. 1.224.710.76
