intel celeron M 1.7ghz

1346mb ram

256mb video ram (ATI radeon Xpress 200m)

im wondering if anyone with this chipset who playes bf2 or 2142 can tell me what to do to get more fps.

and please i dont want to be told my card is bad. i know that and i dont need to hear it from you.

your card is bad.

Celeron + Modern Game = DISSAPOINTMENT

Celeron's are budget CPU's ment for office use... not games. The ATi card in question won't help either... at least you have a good amount of RAM:)

Seriously... Your CPU and graphics card, to an extent, simply isn't ment for serious gaming... There's a few things you can do to increase your FPS's in BF2, but it won't make a huge diff... You can update your graphics driver (ATi's drivers are called Catalyst Drivers I think, not sure... I'm a Nvidia man myself), download and install the latest build of DirectX (hit Micrsoft.com for that one). You can also run some anti virus and anti spyware programs to clean the laptop (I would suggest running both Ad Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy{make sure both are updated 1st} and a good Anti Virus program... AVG is okay and free if you need one.) A registry repair tool (like Registry Mechanic, not free though) might help as well. The above will remove trojans and other small programs/dialers that slow down a PC and a messed up registry also slows thing down... I would also suggest running the above in safe mode as it is faster and often more affective.

Updating your sound card driver might not be a bad idea either (you can just as well update all other drivers while you are at it:) - motherboard chipset driver and so on... optional in my opinion). The last thing you can try before running BF2 is killing all non-critical programs (through your Task Manager), including your Anti Virus...

If the FPS is still to low... rather play Solitare:)  

How the hell did you end up with 1346 mb RAM?-Karayan-

I was wondering that myself, figured he has 1,5 GB RAM and the differance is assigned to the ATi as video RAM.. but the maths don't add up??? That would mean that he has 190MB's set to shared to the VGA??!!! Can't be considering it works in 32 MB increments up to 256 MB max (or 128 MB, depending on machine)... It is a mystery...

You will have to decrease the resolution and most of the graphical features ya maan

Celeron is mainly used in networking and it is very weak in operating games , And your video card is expressing himself :)))))))

your laptop is for simple use mainly,and not for advanced games ya za3eeem

dude, i find it amazing that you can play bf2 on that laptop.  try some of these games.. warcraft 3, tomb raid chronicles, mortal kombat 4.  you will have a much more enjoyable experience rather that trying to run bf2.  your hardware just isn't very good for gaming.  celeron processors are crap anyway.skyyfox1
