Hello Kerpus,
after reading Your posting I decided to have another go at BF2/BF2-PR.
Right now, it very much looks like that my system can handle BF2 vanilla at 1400*1050 resolution with medium textures/geomatries and 100% viewdistance.
If find this quite strange, as I did observe a much worse performance the first time. My guess is that my graphic card drivers have not been configured properly before the first test, which was carried out right after a fresh system install. It could also be that I was using an old driver, as the new ones are supposed to be able to handle games of the caliber of BF2 - if one believes internet postings and articles on the subject.

When you run BF2 for the first time, your gonna be missing everything from the lower left corner of your screen in terms of Hud/UI.
However, as WelshManDan has correctly described, I am also suffering from the bug that cripples the equipment display.
Unfortunalty, I have no time right now to fool around, as I have to hand in my thesis and a list of other things. I got quite scared when my notebook transformed itself into a heating element after one short round of BF2... Since this was precisely the reason why my old Lenovo T61 notebook died: the olde NVidea card degraded at higher operational temperatures to the point that it could not send out a proper display signal anymore. While my current T61 does have an Intel GPU, I am not going to risk anything right now. However, I am sure that I will not be able to resist to make the check at some point in the future. If anyone is interested about that, anyway.. (:
Cheers!
R? I had a Lenovo T61 with a Nvidea Quadro 140M, which could handle the game quite well. Unfortunalty, it burned down, and my replacement T61 has the Intel chipset inside.
