Upgrading for M2TW

[Beirut]

Extra large memory configurations are usually gimmicks to make older cards more enticing. Its like having a speedometer that goes all the way to 250mph with a 4 banger.

What he said.

The ATI 9250 is such a card. I've seen them with 256 megs but they don't tell you they run at only 64-bit instead of 128. Bad deal.

Well what are your settings for textures and lighting?
If textures are set to high, bf2 will start hitching quite often with only 1Gb of memory.

No net connection means you probably don't have an antivirus/firewall/chat but bf2 takes up around 1.3+Gb on a clean tweaked system with nothing extra running.

I'd have to check to make sure but IIRC I pushed everything as high as it would go. Except resolution. i never take that above 1024x768. And with the exception of longish load times there was very little lagging (and that was usually after nadding or other explsions on me) during bot play.
