    I just got battlefield 2142 and it runs like **** on my pc(really slow and glithchy). I have an Nvidia geforce go7600; 1gb RAM; 1.73Ghz processor (WINDOWS VISTA). Is my computer just not good enough to run bf2142 or would upgrading to 2gb of RAM fix the problem?

    Since Bf2142 is a ram intensive game and Vista is a memory hog, you probably want to upgrade to 2 gb of ram.

    Vista actually has compatibility issues with lots of games. CS:Source worked well on my Vista Home Premium (Intel GMA 950 LOLZ) but WoW ran really bad and crashed continously. Wikipedia has all the games that have compatiblity issues.
