ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz Processor
Corsair 1 GB ram/Memory
PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 256MB DDR AGP Graphics Card
Windows Xp pro

i Know the 5200 is not in system requirements. But i know some of you have tried an 5200 or lower and bf2 worked. so any help?
 
Do this:

Go to www.systemrequirementslab.com and run the test for Battlefield 2

If you get Recommended then your system will run Battlefield 2 with high framerate while looking great!

If you get a minimum pass then upgrade your system to the stuff it needs ( videocard, RAM or something else like that )

If you fail do the same for the minimum pass results

Hope I helped :)
 
The game will work however you may experience Lag during game play...Id recommend reduce the graphics and video settings in game to speed it up a little
 
ya thats site is really helpful. ty but my problem is i wanna buy this pc. lol. so i cant test it yet lol.
 
Ohhh you want to buy it? :D

Well when you buy this PC just upgrade to videocard ( since it's AGP x4/x8 ) to atleast a 6800 then you'll run that game perfect! :)
 
Well no matter, how much was that PC you were going to buy anyways?

You could always build your own it isnt really hard, I can even give you links to all the parts you need to have a awesome system to play ANY game! :D
 
TimeParadox is absolutely correct.

As you're in the USA, chances are pretty good getting a new system would likely be a better solution anyways.

You can get an Asus Socket 939 motherboard with SATA/IDE, dual channel ddr400 memory and an Athlon 64 3400+ combo for $95 at NewEgg. It also has integrated Radeon X300 and HD Audio, and a PCI-Express slot for future graphics expansion.

Add an Antec Sonata-II silent case, with a 450Watt power supply (dual 12v rails) and includes a 120mm case fan for $49 after rebate.

DVD combo drive, dual-layer - $30, 80gig SATA drive $43, 2x512mb dual channel 1 gig ddr 400 for about $108 bucks..

Brand new system.. all new parts, forward upgradeable so next year you can just slap in an FX dual-core or 7900/8800 series GTX or X1950 3d card.., etc.etc.
 
Yes, Most of my builds are in the $650-900 range and they are pretty good systems that can run new games like FEAR & Oblivion!
 
If you dont need an HD or OS, absolutely.

Asus Socket 939, dual-channel + PCI-Express motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131049

Athlon 64 3400+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103023
========================
The two above have a combo deal for $95 for both!

OCZ 2x512 (1 gig total) dual-channel kit, CAS 2.5 - $100 ($90.99 after rebate)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227039

Antec Sonata-II case with 450 watt Smart Power -$99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129155

Pioneer dvd/cd combo burner drive with dual-layer- $29
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827129001
---------------------------
All that above comes to $325 + tax and shipping.

The motherboard comes with integrated Radeon 3d graphics and integrated audio. It's comparable 3d graphics to about a 9600 Pro, which far, far out performs your previous choice of a crummy FX card.

The motherboard also has a PCI-Express x 16 slot, so you can add any screaming videocard next year when the new lot of DirectX 10 cards come out, or just get a dx9 card for likely fire-sale prices.

If you demand more power than the integrated can handle RIGHT NOW, you can also stay close to your budget with:
6800XT PCI-Express - $79.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814170106
or
Powercolor X800GTO - $86.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131007

The GTO is one of the better suited cards for BF2.. I make it my "defacto" bang for the buck card with it's 12-pipelines and 256 bit memory interface.
 
ehey men thanks.. tahts a butifull setup.. but i would need a video card for cheap that will run bf2.. lol.. im only 15 and got a tite budget! . ty for all ur help . any more ideas. i like the mobo an cpu. anything better than my 2.4 p4 xD

sumthin around 50$
 
Get what the pervious guy stated on parts maybe detune the CPU for something a little weaker and cheaper and OC it and get an x700. I have one and it works good with high settings 4x aa at 1280x1240 75 hertz, sometimes it looks far superior to a one of my 7800gt's.It gets an average of 40 fps in BF2 and 75 fps in css:s on my P4 3.2Ghz 1GB ram setup.
 
and btw. were do you recomend a good cheap hardrive? Just in case i wanted 1. maybe 80 gigs? and wats better.. sata or ide?
 
That is a great HDD mailpup. I paid almost $60 for my 80GB HDD (months ago), and now a 160GB HDD costs less than $55. Plus, WD Caviar drives are very reliable, and fast.
 
i couldove swore some1 told me 2 do that already... but i gess not... :unch:
