Re: I need help... 

You have onboard graphics and it is using memory dedicated to it from the main RAM. The chances are if you are using onboard graphics, BF2 is out of the question anyway.

What exact model system do you have. Name all the hardware specifically if you can.

Re: I need help... 

it just amazes me how non descript folks can be on their initial posts! For crying out loud just give the damn specs of your system. Model, name something more freeking specific than Uhhh...I'm like, crashing and stuff.

You didn't tell me you had a laptop. God that should have been the first thing you mentioned.

Ok I am calm now.

I don't know much about laptops, but I will say you are scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of game requirements. Any time you purchase an integrated graphics unit be sure you know if it is going to be using memory borrowed from your RAM. That is what is happening in your case.

I am assuming you can add ram but like i said I don't know much about laptops when it comes to gaming.
