Hi everybody,
I got a real suckin problem, I love playing battlefield, but my system is that weak, last week my ATI READEON 9800 PRO simply burned up, now I got a Nvidia 6600 GT 128 MB and, its fuckin laggin. I dont know why.I mean it was laggin before but not that bad.
Here is my system configuration:

Pentium 4 2,6 Ghz
512 (2x 256) MB DDR RAM
Nvidia 6600 GT 128 MB
250 W Power

what is need to be improved to get the game running without laggin ?
I think I should get more RAM but I'm not shure.
please help

more ram will definatly help, and if you have the money, a new gfx card and psu would help

Hi,

It's more than likely that your PSU is the problem.

I was running my 6600GT on a 300W (which is the min spec) and was having the same issues.

The 6600GT also needs plenty of amps on the +12v rail (the details will be on the side of your PSU)
The PSU should be outputting at least 17-18amps (i think) to run the card

I upgraded to a 550W and this solved it, I now average about 70-80fps in battlefield with most of my settings on Med, textures on High and AA on x4 (although is does go down to 30ish when arty is raining down)

Hope this helps, it worked for me..

shit man, this is going to be an expensive deal , I think I'll try a 400 W PSU but the RAM is weak too, is it worth it to invest abaout 200 € in uprading a computer like mine?
PSU 400 W = 100 €
additional RAM 512 MB = 100€

I think you could probably buy a reasonable PCI-E system now for around £500, not sure how many euros that is, but you would have more upgradeability on the system & would run things better If you went for an AMD you could use your old ram as well.

Thank you for your help so far

A 100 € for that is a good deal, but it may not be worth upgrading a computer like yours. If you are really on a budget, you should take it.

well for around 700 euro's i bought my pc:

pentium 3 GHz with HT
2 x 512 MB RAM
dual layer dvd burner
cd/dvd reader
350 or 300 watt power (dont know)

gforce 6200 tc PCI-E
ok this card is crap i know, but my budget wasn't big enough at that time.
soon i will buy a new graphics card.. im thinkin of a 6800 GS xxx
or a 7800 gt (the last 1 would take me more time to get the money)

-->but is the power supply enough to feed the hungry 7800 or 6800?<--
caus i dont want things 2 fuck up when i just spend out all the money i have...

thnx allot,
