    I expect that you'll have little, if any, problems running BF2 at decent to high res.

    Actually lag on high res. But u won't have a single problem on medium res. (except the common BF2 bugs which u can't avoid). other than that, u shouldn't
    have a single problem.

    Have fun, Daniel :)

    I don't think you'll have any issue running it

    well my 7600go in my A8JM runs everything at max with no lag at all. It actually runs games a bit smoother than my friends X1600.

    You shouldn't have any problems with game performance.

    With specs like that, there is no need to post about how well you can run a game.

    It is supposed to mean that you have good enough specifications to run any game at comfortable, or 'eye-pleasing' settings.

    i would say up the RAM to 2GB and you should be golden. Also, you can't run it at 1900x1200 without it getting stretched out because EA/DICE doesn't have support for Widescreens (like my e1705)

    I run a 2.0 CoreDuo, 2gb 667 RAM, 100gb 5400rpm HD, and an Nvidia 7800 GO on all the highest settings and at 1600x1200 res and it runs flawlessly "(except the common BF2 bugs which u can't avoid)" <-- which is very true.

    I bought my system with 512 ram and could run 16-32 ok/decently, but lagged horribly in larger games. But once I popped in the new RAM the game ran so smooth it was incredible how much of a difference it made.
