hi all..
Has anyone noticed that load times seem to be improved since 1.4?
Ive got 1.5gb of ram and with McAfee turned off maps would take about 30-40 seconds to load, not the first map i play takes that time and all the rest take like 20 seconds.
also, do you think more RAM will help with BF2?
cheers.
TBH 1.5 Gb is enough. you can add more and it will load faster there is no doubt about that but the load times is pretty much the only major noticeable difference you would experience

Not really true..
The game will not stutter when you first load…
You will be able to play with the graphics turned up.
You will be able to play for longer, (more ram means it will take longer for the memory leak to eat it all)
The computer will not hang for as long when you exit bf2.The games market atm has got the point that 2 gig of ram is needed to play all the new games out there if you want the eye candy turned on.
Heh thats a good load time
used to take me 5 mins to load a map with 1.5GB ram.
upgraded my hdd to a 7200rpm one and now takes 2 – 3 mins.

did that for me also..
I did a pc test and my hd was very slow… So i went and brought a 7200 rpm 1mg cache hd… my fps has doubled and load times halved.
I am going to get a 10000 rpm disk around xmas with 2 gigs (2.1gig chips)..
Only thing is the, misses does not know yet 🙂

hmmmmm… ok then.. well graphice already turned up, so no probs there, but i get the other issues and true.. newer games will prob need more RAM. (i didnt know there WERE other games?!? hmm will have to investigate this! ) 😯 😯
the hdd can be an issue for loading time as well as said… but an antivirus prog is also a cause of long loading sometimes…
btw my pc with an old 40Gb IBM deskstar HDD loads much faster than my new maxtore 80 Gb … pc mysteries ….
