Im afraid that my vid card is not up to par.Any thoughts on my problem?
Do you have any suggestions on an upgrade if i do in fact need one?
I would like to be able to play the new BF2 that is out in my area tomorrow but im almost positive my system cant play that game.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Video card incompatibility - Battlefield Vietnam System Requirements

I found this list , it shows you what you can expect from wich hardware on wich settings with BF2. Anything below what is listed probebly isn't gona play the game at al.

Ya, battlefield almost takes a machine designed specifically for gaming to run.

Looks like i need an upgrade in a bad way. :-( I guess ill have to reinstal bf1942 and play that until i have the extra cash to upgrade.
Thanks for the info everyone.
