Because most of the time, RAM is much more helpful than a processor.ShotYourSix wrote:
How can you post a question like this without even mentioning what your current CPU is? And how did all you people who said RAM reach to that conclusion without knowing what CPU he is running?
Talk about a shot in the dark......
And suppose he is still running an Athlon X1800+, would you still be recommending RAM over a CPU? As I said before, we really need to know his CPU before we can intelligently answer the question.
Well just to let you know I run 3 GiGS (2 x 512 an 2 x 1 Gig )of Ram with a Intel 3.2 GHZ along with a ATI X800 XT Video Card, I picked up 2 1 gig sticks at Summit Direct for 188.00 CDN
Made a huge Difference in the game and Everyting is on high with 4 x AA with a setting of 1280 x 1024
So Go for the ram upgrade and max out your slots. but thats just my opinion.

Increasing your RAM will not really help your FPS in the game. Increasing RAM beyond 1GB allows you to put your texture settings on "high" without causing BF2 to have to constantly use the pagefile (virtual memory). The studdering you see in the beginning of the map load and sometimes during the game is usually because texture information is being pulled from the pagefile on the HD (SLOW) instead out of RAM (FAST). 1.5GB RAM or greater will eliminate these problems. 10GB RAM will help you no more than 2GB. If you are getting choppyness in the game due to low frame rate spikes this is your graphics settings being too high for your gfx card and more RAM will do nothing. A faster CPU will marginally improve your fps provided that you are not already playing at settings that max out your graphics card (GPU limitted).
