You can get some OCZ PC3200 Value RAM at NewEgg and it will do 2-2-2 timings on 200MHz.
For more info on memory timings and A64 go visit this page.

I know that with BF2 you are DEFINITELY going to want at LEAST 1 Gb of ram.

Please check to see if your motherboard can take 400 (pc3200) on all 4 dimms filled. For what I know most Mobo can only take 333, even if you put 400 in them, unless the rams are single sided. So if you want 2gig use 2x1gig and fill 2 slots.
