yeah, i dont think your computer can handle BF2. check the minimum requirements and check what your computer has.

it would appear as though you dont have the 512mb minimum amount of ram and that your graphics card is also not compatible.

if so, then you cant play.

Why bother? Your specs are so far below the requirements I doubt you will even enjoy the game. Playing it on a 32mb graphics card is a waste of time IMO. Is it a shared or a dedicated graphics card? Because a shared would mean you have < 32mb to dedicate to the game.
I dont even want to imagine your load times with 376 RAM, and I am assuming thats without taking into account anything running in the background.
BTW, what is your processor speed?

Yeah agreed. You're not alone thogh, my computer can't handle Solitair.
(This is the 12th thread I've posted that factoid on - I'm keeping count.)

Also, sometimes it freezes randomly every give seconds for an undetermined period of time. Then it either snaps out of it or you have to forcefully shut it down.

new pc is the best way, its hard nowadays to find parts for old pc's, if ur pc is still using rambus, then get a new one coz rambus ram is super expansive (500 us for 1 gb) but if u have 800usd u can build a decent pc for gaming, http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1 … 644,00.asp but it says 1gb ram, i say get 2

CANADIAN_rocker: You don't have a video card. Yes, you heard me right. Your computer is just using your CPU to handle the graphics. You gotta buy a real video card and a decent one at that. Except to pay at least $100.

You'll also need at least 512MB of RAM in order to run decently and as long as your CPU is decent, then you probably will be good for low and possibly, depending on the video card you get (I suggest a nVidia 6600 GT), medium settings.

If you shal buy a new computer, I reccomend thees specs:
2,5+ Ghz (AMD or Intel doesnt relly matter, but I personally think AMD is better, no reson why)
2+ Gb ram (mabye 1,5 Gb, but Ram is important when palying games.)
Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS with 256 Mb. Not a card with the name MX, those are crap.

those are some good specs for a pc jon, but if hes going for intel, go w/ a 3.0ghz, or amd athlon 64 3500+

After getting a new Graphicscard: Install the latest drivers for your graphicscard AND soundcard!!!
