BF2 is RAM hungry. If I turn video and sound settings max the game starts to use about 800 MB of RAM, eventually all my ram fills up and my computer crashes. I lowered the settings and it runs wonderfully. Also with my video settings max I would keep getting connection problems. I don't know if it is related, but it did go away when I lowered the settings.

Hmm...so, must I overclock my Asus, or should it run pretty well w/ my said specs, stocked? I kinda fear all that overclocking stuff; don't wanna screw up my notebook ya know.
Thanks

NO YOU SHOULD NOT VOERCLOCK IT...because if your asking then you have no business overclocking anything.

btw 700 on memory...good god man, you must have some freak factory ram.

BadBoy787512 · 06-21-2005, 11:12 AM

Lol, okay...thanks for the warning.

I totally agree. I am curious to know what RAM is on his module...

BadBoy787512 · 06-21-2005, 12:18 PM

So, then, do you guys think it's okay if I go w/ just a 1 GB memory stick vs 2x512 memory sticks?
Thanks

smilepak · 06-21-2005, 12:40 PM

1GB is better, give you open slot to upgrade later on.

Sager 3880 can hit 799 memory.

Djembe · 06-21-2005, 07:47 PM

Sagers are clocked higher initially, too.

BadBoy787512 · 06-23-2005, 03:23 AM

I dunno, now, I'm getting scared (after browsing through the forums) that 1 GB of memory might not be enough for this game?! Any comments/suggestions about this issue guys? Any testimonials or whatever (about it working w/ 1 GB, and what you thought of its performance w/ 1 gig of RAM?)?
THANKS

BadBoy787512 · 06-24-2005, 11:48 PM

Anyone?

Djembe · 06-25-2005, 12:43 AM

I've got a gig of RAM and it works fine for me.

Zeus · 06-25-2005, 03:55 PM

The minimum requirements for the game are not high and with the GPU in the z71, the game should run without a problem.

I don't understand how a game could use 800MB of ram, and isn't anything beyond 60FPS on a LCD worthless? Just curious, try not to rip me too much.

Processor: Intel Pentium M processor 760 2MB Cache 2.0GHz 533FSB
Hard Drive PATA: Hitachi 60GB/8MB Cache 7200RPM
Memory: 1GB DDR2-4200 (64x8,1x1gb)
Video Adapter: PCI Express Nvidia 6600-128MB

Any ideas/suggestion/whatever guys? I'd really appreciate it mightily. You guys can also give your impressions of how the Battlefield 2 Demo worked, as well.

THANKS ALL!

I fianlly got around to runnin BF2, after a reformat.

Using Moddedw/inf 77.92 drivers

25bots,1000 tickets,1sec Respawn Time, ALL weapons Unlocked
High on all Settings except Geometery and Shadows (put them on medium)
1024x768RES

I was gettin 40fps, no skips after the intually LOad(when all the bots spawn at once)
CPU @ 1.1v @15x
Over all i had a blast
GPU @ 297/545
