Right now, I am running BF2 just fine on windows XP, with a Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM, and a Radeon X-800 Pro. But I was wondering if BF2 would actually run on Vista, with a dual or quad-core system, using the latest graphics cards such as the GeForce 9800 GTX, or the GeForce GTX 280. I read on the back of the BF2 CD case that it will ONLY run on single-core processors, and up to the Radeon X-1000 series. Are the most powerful systems that you can get today reverse-compatible with older games such as BF2? And what about BF2142, would it work on that? And will the game look alot better on a Nvidia GeForce GTX-280 than it would on an ATI Radeon X-800 Pro?

Please, think before posting topics. If it works on old hardware, of course it will work on new stuff..

The only thing you MIGHT have to do is set BF2 to run on only 1 processor core with the Task Manager

Not always. You try running Win 95 era games and XP and Vista have a cry about it.

And you need a DOS emulator to play the original Doom\Hexen\Heretic games.

I run BF2 on a Dual Core (E6600), XP and BF2 have never complained about it one bit.  I get the complimentary crash to desktop (who doesn't?) every so often, but it runs fine otherwise.

My GFX card, however, ranks somewhere between a simian and hog shit.  I get about 28-30 FPS in BF2 on HIGH...hopefully I can pick up an 8800GT soon.

Monkey_Business, can we see your stats?

No, your house would be instantly engulfed in flames as hot as a thousand burning suns. I type this from a computer with a dual-core CPU. Oh, and the back of the BF2 CD case is a load of misinformation and 99.8% purified failure.
