BF2S Forums What to do?

buy a new graphics card but if you do i dont know how long it will last you considering you have agp. Is this thing home built or made by the devil (dell)?

EDIT: more ram would help but not by much considering it is not your bottleneck. I used to run on 1 gig and it worked on medium settings with a little stutter on a x700 PRO. what speed does you ram run at? you can use cpuz if you dont know.

i would get a new mobo (if it fits in your case) and if not get a new case. Then you can get a decent pcie card like a 7600GT which is good for the money and should run on high

EDIT: well you can start upgrading the one you have and eventually you will have a new computer

Agreed, 7600GT APG card will do wonders to that system, but a P4 is a bitch of a CPU, especially for gaming (I know I had one, 3.2ghz HT bullshit).  To be honest, you can either slowly upgrade or buy a whole new system all together, ur own unique circumstances will pick what you do for ya, but that system certainly needs a major overhaul to run the games of 2007, and indeed 06, as u say ur running low with a bad FPS. 

A quick fix solution is the 7600GT, will do wonders but you will defo want a PCI-e mobo, and dx10 card (coming down in price, and more modles on the way) faster and more RAM, and basically everything else with bigger numbers   But that is obvious.  I think a new rig to be honest would be best and that is what I did, but can totally see why other guys slowly upgrade there rig, but I would suggest new rig from ground up, less incompatibility issues, and u get ur kick ass system in the one go, rather than slowly getting better, but that is just me.

More RAM would actually allow u to run on a higher setting mate, usually you can only get high with a 2gb system, but some manage it on 1-1.5GB

That system above will cost us scots people more mate 8-), but a £1000 system here will run everything on high, or maybe a BIT less if u self build, I saved a bundle on my self build, about 30% over a similar Alienware.

LOL I think you'll find the romans built a fuck-off-great-big-wall to keep you all out of england 'cos you're all such fucking loonatics! I guess you could call that 'owning the romans'...

Another question, do you get motherboards which take my current RAM and CPU but will allow me to upgrade to DDR2 and dual core?

EDIT: After a search i figured if i got a new mobo/new case/new RAM but not too much/new PCI-e gfx card.  Use my old drives/PSU/CPU.  Then a little later i can get a new CPU and more RAM.  good idea?
