I'll post this here, and the mods can kick my nuts and move it if they find a better home for it
I think I've found a solution to my problem of crappy BF2 graphics, and I wanted to share them with any other who might drop into this particular forum in search of answers...
My life-story is that whenever I played BF2 I'd start out just fine, no problems whatsoever.. after a few hours perhaps - it varies - my screen would suddenly cramp up with artifacts (weird images/boxes/triangles on your screen thats definatly not supposed to be there )
I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out what happened - I removed the sidepanel on the chassis and put a table fan the size of my computer right next to it, I removed a firewire-card next to my GPU in hopes that it would help the GPU-fan work better and nothing helped...
At this point I'll let you see for yourselves what kind of playability I was experiencing at some times...

Check it out and tell me that you can't play BF2 like that...
So, for the answer to what i believe is my problems? Well I guess you can't make due with 200W power supply unit when my GeForce 6600GT requires minimum 350W output...
Hope this helps someone - if you'r experiencing these problems, first look at your PSU max Watt output before tossing GPU's and mobos and fans out the window...
Cheers
