You might need to get new ram also. BF2 is very centered around RAM. I've heard almost 100% that 2gbs is a must.

Yeah you're going to need 2 gigs, unless you like it to lag in the beginning while it loads whatever else it needs to.
I play maxed with my system, but for the first 2 mins or so, I get really bad freezes. Frame rate is 100 fps + in generally though.

How long does it take you to load maps though. (And 2x 1gb is more future proof anyways...)

What resolution do play at? That's half of the equation...
As for the RAM, I upgraded from 1GB to 2GB and notice a hugh improvement in overall smoothness, map loading times, etc.
With my setup (in sig), I run BF2 at 80-90 FPS with everthing maxed out, 4xAA, 4xAF at 1600x1200. Going to 1920x1200 (my monitor's native resolution) drops my frames to around 60 FPS, so resolution is important.

You guys playing the same game as me? When I set my textures to high, for the 1st probably 5 mins, I get nasty freezes once in a while after that, it's fine. This happens to be on my 3.2e@ 4000 and 850 XT PE with only 1 gb of ram also.
You guys dont get this with high textures and 1gb of ram?

7800gtx
i play at 1024x768, i have 1 gig installed. but i am upgrading to 2gb of pc4000 real soon. what i really want to know is should i either get the single 7800gtx now and wait til later on for a second 7800gtx or just get 2 7800gt's now? I am not saying that i will play maxed out but if i can have the option to i want to play maxed out. also who would you guys go for as far as getting the card? xfx,bfg,evga or leadtek. i am leaning towards the leadtek because i have heard nothing but good things about them.

That's exactly what happens to me. It's such as a hassle i just turned the textures down to medium, and everything else on maxed.
The frame right is 100+, but right after it loads, it just skips around.
And it also has a tendacy to start lagging right when I'm doing a bombing run in a plane, and when it unfreezes I'm dead.

Same symptoms minus the 100 frame rate (
