Yes, yes I know... I've finally returned! Sadly, work has kept me busy. Something you all will understand in a few years... or you may already understand! Hahaha. Anyway, I finally got my computer fixed a few months ago and I've been dying to test out the Battlefield 2 demo. (Downstairs computer can't handle it!) I played it for a few days..... straight.... 
and just had to buy it. I went to our local Costco and bought it a few days after it's release. I talked to my friends about it, and they stated that it would be out. Suprisingly! When I arrived at Costco, there were hundreds in stock. (That's Costco for you) I installed it almost instantly when I arrived home and began to play it. Sadly, when starting the game up I thought it would let me set my graphics, Resolution, etc.. up very high. I realized, I could only set Geometry and Lighting to High, and the rest would stay at medium. This startled me, because I can have Battlefield 1942, America's Army, Battlefield Vietnam, Counter Strike Source and many other big titles on high. Without it ever lagging, shutting off, restarting my computer... it's just amazing...
It also took me roughly.... 15-20 minutes to figure out the settings it could handle. It has to be at a certain settings too, or else it will lag, give me nothing but blue buildings, completely freeze up, etc. I've been pondering if this is due to a patch, or lack there of, or could this be because my computer just won't handle it? Have any of you ran into this? Help would be greatly appreciated... or just your input.
My computer Specs are-
Processor:
AMD Athlon 64 FX-57
Motherboard:
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
Memory:
2 GB DDR
Videocard:
Geforce 7800 GTX OC
