My full comp description in the link below.

AthlonXP 2500 Barton at 2.2GHz(3200)
BFG 6600GTOC
1 GB RAM at 400MHz
Audigy 2 ZS
Samsung SyncMaster 172x 17in LCD (1280x1024, 60Hz)
Sennheiser heaphones

BF2 set to 1024x768, 60Hz (its stuck there), all vid options medium, distance 100%, 4x AA, sound -> hardware, no EAX filters nor CMSS3D (usually)

The vast majority of glitchyness for me is server side. The game looks fine, but there's some pop-up I'd rather not have. When I unstick the resolution, I might see a hit.

smooth as silk (although the load times are horrible, and lots of choppiness due to page filing) Getting to servers is one thing, horrible again, returned BF2 and got other games out of it

Most of the time, the game is very smooth when I'm playing SP. Its hard to gauge MP frame rate because the game is so laggy online.

Tweaks R Us 78.05 driver is a must for BF2. Waiting for a nvidia 7 series chip to reach $300 Canadian. EA does have another patch in the works. It's called BF2 Special Forces.

I'm pleased overall, but definitely understand that a video upgrade would help.

The game used to be much slower when I was only running 512Megs of RAM. When I upgraded to 1.5Gb, I noticed that the maps loaded much faster. In many cases I'm still one of the first people spawning in new maps. If you have a decent system, be sure to turn your sound up to medium or high...it adds a lot of cool dialog to the game. I didn't notice this setting until I played for a month or so. It makes the experience more realistic.
