For BF2 to run "Good"
2GB of Ram Geforce 6800GT or 7300GT or better card. AMD 64 3000+ or better I run BF2 on three systems. My main gaming system is a AMD 3200 @ 2.2 Ghz(32 bit) 2GB of Ram Gfeorce 6800GT I run with 2XAA @ 1280 X 1024 and eveything but lighting set a high(can run with high, but truning lighting off lets you see the bad guy better) 2nd System (just installed BF2 so still playing with settings, most likly will lower some settings till I up the RAM) AMD 2800 @ 2.15 Ghz(32 bit) 1GB of Ram Geforce 6800GT Run 2XAA @ 1024X768, Everything but efects and lighting set to high. 3rd System AMD 64 3000 @ 1.8Ghz 1GB of Ram Geforce 6150 Run at 800 X 600. Eveything set to lowest setting. 1.5 to 2 GB of ram is a must A mid to high end video card also is a must. |

AMD Opty 170 @ 2.8ghz
2gb OCZ DDR500 EVGA 7900GTX OCed DFI NF4 Ultra D I run it at 1280x1024 4xAA 8xAA, maybe 16x not sure. Everything on High. Oh, I would not call RO a resource hog at all... the engine it is on is getting kinda dated. IMO it doesn't hold a candle to the Source engine and even the Doom3 engine which I'm not really too fond of. That's why he can run RO fine. |

You need to overclock that processor! I've seen those things around 3.0 ghz... 2.6-2.8 is more common though! Get a good motherboard and get that beast up there. |

Right now I am only playing with 1GB of RAM since I loaned my brother my other 1GB stick (one of his 512MB sticks died). Battlefield 2 will stutter horribly as it constantly tries to load shit off the hard drive the entire time you're playing. 1.5-2GB of RAM is a MUST. My only conclusion is that DICE is made up of a bunch of fucking morons that can't optimize their code. Battlefield 2 seems horribly bloated. I can't tell you how many times I'll get the jump on somebody only to have the game stutter and freeze up on me. The game runs GREAT and silky smooth when it's not trying to load something off the hard drive. It's still fun to play, but it's just irritating to no end. It improves as you play for a while on a map, but when you start one it is almost unplayable.

I had 1 gig of ram, and had no stuttering at all while playing. So it isn't just a ram issue. My bet would be that something on your system is using a lot of resources other than the game. I have since upgraded to 2 gigs, and still don't have any stuttering. -d |

+1 on what dizz said when its stuttering use your task manager and check under the processes tab and close anything with your name by it besides your bfs and that should help. programs running in the backroubnd used to do that to me also.

I only have 26 processes going and that isn't even with turning stuff off. Only 284 megs of ram used, which leaves plenty for BF2 or whatever else I run, to run great. -d |

I play on a 3.06 GH laptop with a gig of ram and a 64 mb vid card, but can allocate RAM to make it 128.
It runs well on low graphics settings. It ran terribly at first, but I cleaned the computer out and installed a better fan to clear up the heating issue, how it's just fine. BF2 is a great game, but the code is absolutely pitiful. Lots of completely unnecessary shit in there, crashes too often, buggy, etc. It's fun, but it's been out for over a year now and it's still the same 50 bucks they were asking when it first came out. |

26 processes! I'm at 18, and that's including taskmgr.exe and MBM5 (motherboard manager.) So 17 processes when I'm gaming. |

26 is hardly a lot. I was making the point that you don't need to shut down everything to play a game, IF you have a decent pc to play it on. -d |

I havent played in a while becuase of the BS hacker, exploiters, bugs and general smaktardery that goes on.
When I first played BF2 it was on an XP1800, Gforce 5200 1gb 266mhz ram. Ran great. Sure settings were all on low but it was very playable and fun. |

I'm at 25 processes at the moment with Firefox, Trillian, Motherboard Monitor, Daemon Tools (so I can run it without the DVD in the drive), and my Logitech Mouse software. I have almost all of my services turned off. I have since turned textures and geometries to LOW and that seems to have fixed my stutter problem until I get my other stick of RAM back from my brother who needs to get off his ass and buy more RAM himself.

My BF2 computer:

I get new maps loaded before the system can cycle the three screens after a map change. I am almost always the first one in the map. |
