Why dont you try downloading the latest CPU drivers for the single core and try it out. It works for the dual cores.
Awesome! Im glad it worked for you guys. Ive played the last 3 nights for a solid 2 or 3 hours each night with not a single disconnect. And, I was soo close to un-installing BF2!
Follow up:
Just played for 2 hours straight with no disconnects! Thats a first!

I have been pulling my hair out over this damn lost connection to server issue in BF2. Nobody has had a solid solution. I am running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core processor. I, well not I but a very knowledgable individual who helped me this morning, discovered that after a short period of time, I was loosing packets and therefore, lost my connection. When we pinged a server, the ping was fine when only sending 32KB packets. Then we sent larger packets. Those larger packets started out good, but then went to NEGATIVE PINGS! This is when I must be loosing my connection to the servers. This is what we found:
When you do a normal ping of a server, such as "ping www.yahoo.com", you only send very small packets of data and have a much less chance of one of those small packets being lost. So, I did this:
ping www.yahoo.com -l 4096 -t
That sent a much larger 4096 KB packet, like a game would, instead of the normal 32KB packet that is sent when "pinging" a server.
For those of you who are having the same problem Im having, check out if youre getting negative pings. The negative ping thing is, as far as I know, only a dual core processor problem though. The fix is simple. Just install the latest AMD processor drivers (see link below). My negative ping immediately went away. I havent played the game yet, as I am too excited to post this in hopes on helping other fix the problem.

OK, I have read a million different opinions about what you need to do to fix from losing connection to server. I have tried them all. Affinity to 0, updating PB, turning firewalls off, antivirus off, blah blah. My RAM is good, uninstalled, reinstalled BF and PB. Manually updated PB. Set connection cable (my connection is cable), etc. I still get disconnected from server.
HOWEVER...
I am only being disconnected from server in the evenings and on weekend. My ping is always low (20-50), but I still loose connection. So, I have been doing a DL speed test several times per hour for the last 24 hours. I conclude that my bandwidth is terrible at peak TV watching times. For example, I was consistently getting DL speeds of 6,000 to 6,200 Kbps until AMERICAN IDOL came on. Then BAM! I am down to 900-1,200 Kbps for the rest of the evening. In my town, there is only one cable company serving thousands of people who have all moved here in that last 2 years. My town is a new suburb of Phoenix, AZ and Im guessing that the cable company didnt plan for the massive growth my community has experienced. So, they need a bigger "pipe".
Am I full of crap or could this be a possible reason why some of us are being disconnected frequently???
Thanks a lot!
