with 128 Mb of RAM
- Recommended Specification:
CPU: 2.4 Ghz
RAM: 1 Gb
Video Card with at least 256 Mb of RAM
- Video Cards
Battlefield 2 only supports the following video cards:
Radeon X700 (PCIe)
Radeon X600 (PCIe)
GeForce 6600 (PCIe)
GeForce PCX 5900 (PCIe)
GeForce 5800 Series (AGP)
ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition
ATI Radeon X800 PRO
ATI Radeon 9800 Series
ATI Radeon 9600 Series
ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350LX)
ATI Radeon 9500 / 9700 Series
ATI Radeon 8500 Series
ATI Radeon X300 Series
NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra
NVidia GeForce 6800 GT
NVidia GeForce 6800
NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Series
NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Series
NVidia GeForce FX 5700 Series
But it's a mobile GPU. Mobile GPU delivers worse performances than a desktop GPU ( they are underclocked to save battery life ).
If an ATi X300 is able to run BF2, your nVIDIA will be able. The only default is that you have only 64 MB of on-board VRAM, which is very poor for gaming 
The Core Duo is like a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz so it will not have any probelm on this side.
Forgetting something...
by per89son - 7/20/06 3:34 PM In reply to: BF2 Requirments : by Ghost26If BF2 can only run with those cards then people wouldn't be able to run it with the nvidia 7800gt and gtx.
Of course !
by Ghost26 - 7/20/06 6:31 PM In reply to: Forgetting something... by per89sonOf course you'll be able to run it with nVIDIA GoForce Go 7xxx !
You must look to older GPU versions to make the basic requirments. Most people still have a GeForce 6xxx in their computer.
Every new line of GPU is able to run an older game.
Just to give you an exemple :I'm playing Age Of empires 2 on my ATi Mobiluty Radeon X1400. Its minimum requirments is 4 MB of VRAM ! This game get out on the market in 2000 I think ( and it still funny to play ) and my GPU was on the market in 2005.
turbo cache -VS- dedicated
by iVisiter - 7/21/06 10:05 AM In reply to: BF2 Requirments : by Ghost26But if you look at the tech specs on the 7400 on Nvidia's website they say that this new turbo cache technology is actually going to deliver better performance than dedicated memory.
