Default Worst System Specs (BF2 Playable)

Heya boyz and girls! I thought I would start a thread for a good laugh at my own expense.
I currently run BF2 on 3 systems @ my house for me and my buddies. Who needs 64-bit processors and 7000/x1000 series cards! I don't know but I want em!

Here are the specs:

1) MINE (SEVERITY):
XP1700+ @ 2040MHz
1.5GB PC3200
EVGA 6600GT 128MB AGP
AUDIGY GAMER
50 - 60 FPS @ 1024x768 MED. Settings

2) Ic3piCK:
XP1900+ @ 1800MHz
512MB PC3200
ATI RADEON 9600PRO 128MB
16-bit soundcard
40 FPS @ 800x600 LOW Settings

3) youDEAD2
XP1700+ @ 2040 MHz
1MB PC3200
RADEON 9600 128MB
ON-BOARD SOUND
40 FPS @ LOW/MED. Settings

I take donations.
Any smart-ass remarks can be directed to me on the battlefield.

hey man, 40fps is pretty decent no matter what settings you're on. Trust me, there are MUCH worse specs.

I've seen someone claim to be playing BF2 on a P3 CPU. I think it was 933 MHz.

Well on my old comp it took about 45 minutes to join a server and the lag was terrible. So I doubt a 933 Mhz comp could really be playable for BF2

Depends on your definition of 'playable'. If you never played on a faster system you might not realize how bad yours is. (And join time seems to be mostly a function of your amount of RAM.)

That would be your video card. A slower CPU and faster vid card would perform better (up to a point at least).

You actually have a good setup. You are lucky to get 40 fps on ANY settings in bf2.

Try playing on a amd sempron, 512mb ram, geforce 5200fx pci, onboard sound and a 5400 rpm hd!!! That is really bad! 20fps is miraculous.

Im running on a P4 2.4ghz, 512MB PC2100 (another gig coming 3 days!), On board sound (but with logitech X530 5.1 speakers lol), 5400RPM 80GB HDD, but the pinnacle is an ATI Radeon X850Pro 256MB AGP, so, I can at least run this at all med settings with 50fps.
