changed my nick and it worked but then i realized it was on low settings so i switched to high and got the lock up. switched to med and it runs fine. i play bf2 on high with 70+fps but i guess i cant run pr at high.

whats your specs, maybe you just need a little upgrade somewhere

running vista
T5250 @ 1.50GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.5GHz
2 gigs of ram
geforce 8600 gt.
dont know to much about computers its a lap top so i dont know if i can upgrade stuff.

Dunno if you can upgrade RAM on a Laptop but if you can, get an extra gig or 2

Vista is a RAM whore ...

i dont know squat about laptops but like banner said vista is a ram hog. that could be part of the problem. processor seems a little slow at 1.5 or is that 1.5x2? i donno

maybe someone who knows more about laptops can help

Yeh, he must have a dual core laptop as he put 1.5Ghz (2 CPU)

So he has 3Ghz overall.

But i heard BF2 doesn't like multicores

No, 1.5Ghz and 2 cores does NOT equal 3Ghz.

And I have a dual core, and BF2 runs like a charm.

He has dual core, but dual core doesnt double your speed, it just means you have 2 cores at that speed.

its like 2.92Ghz total.
CPU Speed
Recommended: 2.4 GHz
You Have: 1.50 GHz Performance Rated at 2.92 GHz

No, having 2 cores does NOT double your speed. It lets you do more, and stuff on different cores, but at 1.5Ghz. And the recommended 2.4GHz depends on your processor. Maybe you need a 2.4GHz pentium 4 to play BF2, but a 1.6GHz core 2 duo would probably be even better, even though it has a slower clock speed.

His computer specs are more then enough to run BF2

R. He has plenty of ram. Processor is not the problem, his video card is doing most of the work. If you have a bunch of programs turned on that would do it. Disable firewalls, anti-virus/spyware/etc, and see if that works
