im thinkin about upgrading my ram because everytime i exit the gameit takes about 2-3 mins for it to stop laying bf2 music.
I have 1 gb of ram ddr2 533 mhz
and im wondering what did the 4 numbers mean again? like 2-2-2 -5
its been a year since i built comps and i forgot everything lol and is it ok to just throw 2 512 mb chips in the last 2 dimm slots?

1GB of RAM is more than enough for Battlefield 2 to unload without difficulty. You have some other problem. Are you using on-board sound?

try turning the sound quality to medium.. I found high quality sound ate ram like cheerios.

Disable the music. If its not old to you now, it will be.

Hmm. I've never experienced that problem, perhaps due to my running BF2 on a 10K Raptor and my Audigy 2. I never did say that it was a bad thing to have more ram, though.

2 gig ram makes a huge difference to this game if you're running with a less powerful processor... Work out the cheapest way to upgrade. Since I upgraded my ram, I've had zero problems and it takes less than a second to shutdown to the DT ... great ...oh, and just as an afterthought... When we all load into a new map, I'm usually one of the first to get going... mashtuur* city, I capture a flag before most have got to their vehicles, and I used to be one of those that would take forever to get going.

Or maybe user error or inproper configurations? I have an AMD rig and no problems what so ever.
