    Hey guys,

    What is the quality of BF2142 on the Vaio SZ? And does it lag?

    BF2142 runs decently on my SZ150P (T2400 Core Duo with 2GB-533 RAM on the nVidia 7400). Runs on medium settings with dynamic shadows and AA off, at 1280x800. I don't use the Voip feature, so not sure if that will change gameplay settings/lag.

    The most important thing is RAM. The more the better. With 2GB i get about 40fps or so. I play it on an external 20' dvi LCD but, sadly, still have to run it at 1280x800 to actually play properly.

    The problems come mainly from the video card. The 7400 is a little weak but that's a trade-off of having a thin-lightweight laptop. In the game, draw distance is not very good at medium settings, but the game can run smoothly. Overall, a good time. Titan mode is a blast.
