[QUOTE="Orpheus_1986"][QUOTE="MindlessTeef"]Just enough ram for a big old corperate spreadsheet!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:)
Great Post. And applauds to the helpful not the hardware bashing...
