man, no one can stay on topic can they?  :p

Yes, that is good RAM.  I have the PC6400 version and love it.  Patriot is an emerging solid choice in my opinion

If you want to rule out your GPU then try typing in this console command

renderer.drawFps 1

It will display your frames per second in the top left corner.
If the GPU is the bottle neck it will be below 30. Above this and the GPU is not the issue.

If you want to check your CPU, open task manager,. when you die, alt + tab to task manger and see if the CPU is maxed out.

BF2 uses about 1.5 Gb of memory, the more of that in RAM and the less in pagefile the better.


Hope this info helps man.

I did this and it ranged from like 65.5/15.5 to 97/15.5  I think that this is good

So you've now determied your FPS are good.  Even at 65 you're smokin.
Before you ditch your amd 3000 chip try overclocking it.  Is yours a 939 or a 754???
Either way drop your HTT multiplier to 3x
raise your FSB (aka CPU overclock) to 250Mhz
slow your ram speed down to 166Mhz.
If it won't boot at that try dialing it down a little like 240Mhz. 
You might have to find the reset jumper on your motherboard, but I haven't had to touch one of those since the AMD xp days... all the 754 and 939 boards I've used will just fail their POST and sit there waiting for you to enter the bios and drop the settings back down.

I don't know how to do any of that. But mine is a 939. If you want to give me instructions ill try it. But i heard that overclocking your proceesor will cause your computer to crash alot, is that true?
