Hardware / interface questions

[Fudzy]

What system specs are you guys running?

I've got an aging AMD A64-3500+ with 1GB of RAM & a X850XT, I've always had a bit of lag when playing but now that I'm online it's getting quite frustrating when one second you've got your guns locked on the enemy and then a couple of jerky frames later you're lying on the floor screaming for a medic.

Would an extra gig of RAM make any difference? I'm not really interested in a full upgrade just yet as I'm really enjoying console gaming but since having my ADSL installed I'm really digging BF2 online.

Also, are there any good 'legal' interface mods/tweaks? You know, like isolate messages to you personally in a different colour etc?

fudzy when u play online you need to drop your settings lower than when you played SP

you need more memory without doubt, 2 gig should be fine

your setup should run bf 2 on medium pretty easily

as Killadoob siad, try to bump down your settings and see how that playes.

Yeah nows the fun part of trying to source DDR400 memory

Any suggestions re: my other query?

1GB DDR400 chips are available at a good price from Rectron. I just bought 2 of them
