    Hi, does anyone here think that Battleifled 2 would work on:

    AMD Athlon TunderBird 1.33GHz
    768MB of SD133 RAM
    nVIDIA GeForce FX5700 256MB APG 8x, but will run at 4x on this motherboard
    Built on ViA Sound

    However the box says:

    1.7GHz CPu
    512MB RAM
    nVIDIA GeForce FX5700 128MB and many have been able to run the game on a FX5500

    thanks

    We had it working on what is basically a HP laptop with x200 integrated graphics. The resolution was low but it was certainly playable. We hammered the game on two of the same rigs for days.

    It as hard as nails online!

    Im of the opinion that BF2 online is more on the diamond encrusted nails surrounded by reinforced concrete scale.

    No matter how many times i have tried i just obviously wasnt born to fly planes. I normally average more deaths than kills and my favoured weapon is the good old sniper rifle.

    I too was able to run the game on a FX5500. Settings to medium. Very playble.

    As for your described rig... well, I'd say you can run BF2, sure. The loading times might be slow and graphics low (to achieve maximum playability), but it's possible.

    Yeah it should run, by 1.7GHz they're refering to a Pentium or Celeron and you've probably got at least that equivilant anyway. It'll be tight as the game's pretty processor intensive but I'm sure you can get it. You've got plenty of vram and more than enough system memory so you'll 5700 will be fine. AGP 4x won't really affect anything, that card isn't going to crave a ton a bandwidth.

    Thanks all, what I'm thinkin of doing is lending my friend one of my old cards, and testing Battlefield 2, on single player, because its my copy, and if it works at a reasonably good framerate, he can have the card, and buy his own copy.

    Cheers, keep the replies coming ;)

    wow, really?? I should try installing it on my laptop then! Holy crap I have had BF2 lying around idly cuz it didn't work on my PC and I didn't even bother to try installing it on my laptop. It's an Athlon XP-M 2400+, with 512 ram

    This thing had a Atlon 64 mobile 1.7ghz CPU, 1gb of dual ddr400 and the x200 express graphics. But it was a desktop. The american version must be slightly different to the UK version because the specs of my mates PC isnt listed but here is the PC nonetheless.
    Buy HP Pavilion Slimline s7600e series, HP Pavilion Desktop and Slimline PCs, Compaq Presario Desktop PCs, Media Center Computers, and Digital Entertainment Centers direct from the HP Home & Home Office Store

    Like I said the resolution was low but it kept us happy for ages! FEAR played much better than BF2142, its a great game and worth trying.
