I don't want to shell money for a Desktop that I'll have to leave here, I already have a great PC over in the sates (I'm returning in November), but if it won't run BF2 then screw it, I'll have to get the XPS laptop :S... meh... that sucks, I have the money but i'm being cheap XD.

Here are the specs of my mother board:

And my AGP:

Any card that will fit in nicely that could run BF2 decently that anyone knows of?

dude, sorry to say, i would work hard and save, forget about upgrading that computer...

You got a valid point there, however I work at Dell here in ES, nothing big, just at a call center and I get a sweet discount on all computers and accessories . I just wanted to upgrade this PC a bit instead of going through the hassle of buying another computer.

Dammit, I guess nothing will work, I don't want to buy a desktop pc here in El Salvador because my primary pc where I play BF2 is in the states so I don't want to shell on a new desktop, meh I'll just buy that new Dell XPS laptop and put an end to this drama, haha, thanks anyways guys.

Kind of a stupid question, but will my SDRAM fit the memory slots on this motherboard and will my processor fit in it too?:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813185074

I guess I'll have to buy a 512mb DDR400 RAM sick for this card if my SDRAM doesn't fit.

Hey guys, I have a little Dilemma here, you see, I'm going to be here in my home country (El Salvador) until November, and although I have a decent PC it has the crappiest Vid card, it's 16mb... it's really old, just check the specs:

*AMD Athlon XP1800+ 1.15GHz
*Windows XP Pro w/SP.2
*576mb SDRAM PC133 (133Mhz)
*16mb Integrated vid card
*unknown motherboard.

So, I need a video card that will run Battlefield 2 on medium or low settings nicely without any problems and a New motherboard for the Vid. Card.
I was thinking of a Radeon 9600 Pro. But I'm open to ANY recommendations you can give me. Since it's going to be for a  few months the limit will be $100+$15 (give or take) shipping, so I really need help.

I'll be buying from http://www.newegg.com/

Thanks guys.

Anyone know where I can find a really funny movie about some guys making bf2 like a car dealership video for the tv? I'm having some trouble finding it, thanks.

I love this debate, it always makes me laugh.

Most people who say that the G36E is a 'noob gun' are just following the crowd like sheep. The only other reasons I can think off is that they die a lot from this gun so they moan about it, or they do a lot of clan battles so they have to use base weapons only, so they stick with the base weapons only when pubbing. Or they truley do think it is a noob gun and would like more of a challenge, but I wouldn't say the AK101 is more of challenge as that is also an insane gun.

For the people who say 'I don't use it because it takes no skill blah blah blah', then why do you use grenades? I mean grenades are easier to use and takes far less skill to use than the G36E right, but you still use them, so in a sense that makes their statement hypocritical.

If i was following a crowd, wouldn't i join in with the G36e whoring like the other 30 people on my server?

Anyway, this has been discussed so much now. lets just say, G36e is easier to use than any other gun, plus you can heal yourself and you have AIDs if you use it. Sound good?

Not really, I want it to also make me sandwiches whenever I want.

Sniper is my most played kit, but that's mostly in part because I love shooting down the pilots out of the chopper cockpits with my M95. But it's fun, not gay, on the contrary, you're seriously underpowered, hence the purpose of hiding.

Not the kit, or the gun, however I dislike Support main weapons a tiny little bit (Minimi, RPK74, PKM, etc.) because not even the 1st shot while standing is accurate ... it should be. However I love 'em, you can mow down everyone with one, specially RPK-74 which is my personal fav. It should've been an unlock.

Err... It's being made as we speak, check IGN.

Sadly its being made by Paul W.S. Anderson so we can wait for it to be made into such a Crappy movie that it will be probably based on Dracula being a monster made from chopsticks and the Belmont clan a music group . I hate Paul W.S. Anderson, he's an asshole and I hope he dies.

Resident Evil 1... BUT, this time actually based EXACTLY as the story of the original game AND preferably Gory Anime . The person who decided the RE series should be all action should be killed in as many ways possible.

Try Spinning (aka Stationary bike), it's way better and has less impact on your joints, which means no busted knee caps or other sorts of injuries, not to mention it's much more fun, and you get to meet hot girls at the gym.

Well the track is a lot cheaper than the gym . I make like 160 a month work at Haagen Dazs, and I can't afford to put like 100 or so of that into the gym.

Try Bally, 1 month membership is $40.

Get mad! A lot! Do pushups whenever your mad. Pushups before using the bathroom, and after! Pushups before entering the kitchen, and after(as long as you didn't eat heavy). A lot of wide pushups will help get rid of those manboobs and turn them to pecs. It takes time and patience. Cardio will help too for it burns fat faster. Basically, just a lot of pushups. Besides, in bootcamp, all you do is pushups. So guess what? Get on your face right now! What branch you going into anyway(if it hasn't been asked yet)?

eh, no, doing so will turn out as an injury, if you must do pushups do them fast if you want, however you must do counted reps and sets ONCE, if you do otherwise (i.e. doing them at random) will work a lot less (which means less calories burned), will make your arms much more sore, and you might hurt yourself, and you will look dumb doing it XD. Listen guys, don't give random advice, it doesn't help, if you must add something them please, post things you know, not things you've just made up.

Sorry but i've had a chart similarly pointed in my face to many times by doctors...

Charts IMO are just vague approximations of what someone really is, you need to go to a doctor and have them take your Fat %, I don't remember how the process is called but it's fairly cheap and extremely accurate, there are calculators in bodybuilding.com which are very accurate, they ask your body type and other stuff.

Listen man, we're not here to judge you, there are a gazillion fat folks out there, I was included a long time, trust me, however I got thin and everything worked out for me, and it will for you too, just trust in yourself and have will power. And visit the weight loss forums here on bb.com:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16

They're a lot of help, mostly since they've tried everything in the book, lurk around and see for yourself .

If you've done weight lifting like me then this is not entirely accurate since your muscle mass will make you weight more than your perfect weight. However this can be used as a semi-accurate chart if so.

For example, I'm 6'0 @ 201lbs - My Body fat is about 10% so I'm overweight according to this chart but I'm really not.

If you haven't  done some serious weight lifting then it IS accurate, 3 days of weight lifting is not serious .

My friend, been there, done that, all it takes is will power, a good selection of music and exercise... lots of it. Don't worry you'll do it! Most I've been is 276lbs however I shed to 200lbs in about 3 months, yep, Atkins, lots of Spinning classes and weight training.

I'm having too much fun I tell you.  If feels great to fucking work out cause I come home and fucking own in BF2 and BF2142.

unfortunately if you've had them for a long time your skin may become stretched even after you loose the fat, if thats the case, you may have to consider plastic surgery.

Not really, combining diet, cardio and weight will make your skin stay tight and never flabby, the key here is to lift weights while you're losing fat because that tightens your skin or the muscle will take the space fat once had. Trust me, I did that to shed 50+lbs of excess weight in two months with the Atkins diet (strict). Plastic surgery should be the LAST thing on your mind, if you've tried everything else without success then do it, if not, wait.

I'll be fine started working out last week in prep for military.  Man i feels good to run 2 miles. 

Err.. getting rid of man boobs will not be a thing of 7 days, try 2 months if they're moderately big for a guy, or a month for normal. Cardio will work best, specially going out on your bicycle or stationary, do a low carb diet if you can (Check with your Doc since your Liver might be damaged by it), replace soda with water or at least diet soda or diet drinks (Green tea FTW!), weights will work, just do lots of reps with little weight since that's the key for burning fat with weights (no more than 3 days a week). Thats my 2-cents. Lots of more info. Here:

People should also remember that gang members come in every color.  Every race has its scum.

Thats true, Americans (Although badly used) have Wigger gangster wannabes, Latins have gangs too, blacks have gangs, Europeans have gangs (aka Mafia), Asians have gangs.

Nothing personal against you Cuju, but In my experience anytime people start a sentence with that sort of qualifier, what follows is always utter bullshit that smacks of racism. If people don't think what they're about to say is racist, why would they feel a need to qualify it? Why not just say it? It's the classic tell.

Here's a litmus test to determine if you're in denial as to whether your own opinions are racist:

Would you be comfortable explaining the opinion to a girl belonging to the racial group you're talking about, when her extremely huge boyfriend is sitting next to her listening?

Would you mind if someone videotaped you explaining your comments and uploaded them to youtube?

Not really, I wouldn't mind the girl thing, the youtube, well, it's the internet, lots will see it the wrong way, so no to youtube. Here's a nice test: Would you bang Beyonce and her 2 destiny's child friends, Halle Berry or the really cute black girl from Clueless?? Hell yeah! If you wouldn't you would be Gay and/or Racist .

Rac·ism

NOUN:

   1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is                        superior to others. [I don't think any race is superior to others, nor did I imply that]
   
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. [WHERE did I show hate or a discriminatory comment?]

Mainstream hip-hop is garbage i won't deny that, but real hip-hop is not the kind of garbage you will be exposed to unless you actively look for it.  Generalizing all Hip-hop, Rap and some how equating it to gangs and crime is called viewing the world through a narrow prism.

Yes, but the majority of rap and hip-hop songs idolize crime, gang activity, violence, greed and all that crap. I must say the OLD stuff is more mellow and non-gang or crime related, like the Will Smith songs, Miami for example, yeah thats Good rap, not at all like the new crap.

I got it from A-10 whores the 1st few days I was playing Armored Fury, I had lots of deaths, and as soon as I destroyed a tank with the T.O.W. I heard the drums and lo & behold I had a purple heart . I knew if I killed that tank I'd get the Purple heart but I really don't care about it, it's just an award showing you had a really bad round - It definitely doesn't mean you suck at all.

Honestly, and I'm not being a racist here, but the majority of black people love the "Gang" look and idolize it and those who do gang related activities or songs about it being 'cool', and most of us normal, decent people frown upon that... a lot, that kind of activity promotes crime and violence by trying to imitate them, I personally hate all that crap (rap, hip-hop, gangs, crime, etc.) and I intend to keep doing it, and its not EVERY African-American who does that, some of my AA friends say its stupid and it shouldn't be looked as black culture, however the more retarded want to keep it as their culture and heritage... they had and will still have it coming if they keep idolizing crime, gangs and illegal activities.

Just my $0.02

Here's my idea of the perfect replacements:

Replacement for M16A2 ~ G36-E (Full size assault rifle) [Reliable, will NOT jam even while soaked in mud and sand, lightweight, portable, large ammo capacity magazines readily available and can be made into a MG36 with the addition of a bi-pod and a 100 round C-mag. Not to mention that it's very cheap for the military, at less than $600 a piece, massive wholesale I don't know.



Replacement for M4 Carbine ~ G36C [Extremely compact, very lightweight, will NOT jam in the worst conditions, all of the positives on the G36E above]. Very cheap to purchase for the military.



Replacement for the Beretta M9 ~ Glock 21C [13-round capacity- .45ACP - will not jam - lightweight - compact - will withstand huge amounts of abuse - etc. It's a Glock people!]



Replacement for the M249 Saw a.k.a. ''Minimi'' ~ HK 23-E [5.56mm ammo - huge ammo capacity - selective fire <semi-3 round burst-full auto>- lighteweight and can be belt fed or linkless fed]

Kit: Assault (Rifle, nades or grenade launcher, smoke or flashbang... need I say more?)

Kit in Army: Assault in Mec - I love the AK-101 & GP-30 GL

Unlock - G3A3 *thump * *thump* you're dead.

Army - Mec (powerful weapons and choppers).

Map - Sharqi (so much to do)
