    You should be able to play at around 1024x768 at medium settings. More memory the better the performance, 1gb is minimum really.

    GMA950+BF2=D SASTER (lol!)

    it will run on x1400 though, u can expect getting 800x600 resolution with all the settings turns to minimum. as sionyboy says; 1gb is the minimum

    2gb will just eliminate any occasional stuttering you may encounter whilst playing. But plenty of people on here playing with 1gb, I wouldn't pay the astronomical amount for 2gb at the moment at all. You'll be fine with 1gb

    Thats totally misinformed, the X1400 can run BF2 at 800x600 at medium to high options easily.

    really? smoothly? (all the time) coz i like my game to run smoothly all the time (ocasional stuter is aceptable, but not if something like a smoke, cause lag) for them to conside playable.. especially in a competitive shooter like BF2 sorry if i cause any misinformation.

    The X1400 performs better in BF2, but on my 7400 I can get about 50fps running at 800x600, textures on medium, models on medium, view distance 100%, shadows on low, other options on medium-ish. Still looks alright...
