My Specs - Need Thoughts

[OSR] Xaid0n · 07-30-2006, 04:26 PM

Hi, I've had Battlefield 2 about 2-3 weeks now, I enjoy it alot apart from the bad lag I get on some Servers, My specs are:

AMD Athlon 1500+
Nvidia GeForce 6200 128Mb
510MB RAM
1.69ghz processor

runs ok on local (but then again it would as it's just me there lol) although on several maps it does stutter alot, I have to stay around certain areas for a while for it to smoothen out gameplay, do you reckon i need more ram? I think my graphics card can certainly handle it, just not sure as I'm not a comp whizz kid. A family friend who sorts out my comp says it has sufficient power and memory, what are your thoughts?

you have the equivalent of a family pc, from about 2 years ago. that is not a gaming machine and you would have to increase everything to be able to play BF2 well

micro-atx foxconn pci-e mobo and 939 venice 3200+ is £130 plus postage from ebuyer.com right now. only has 2 x pci slots and 2 x ram slots, so you'll need 2 x 1gig ram sticks straight away, corsair value ram is compatible with foxconn mobos.
