Stonor regarding your stutter fest, how many background programs do you run after you start up windows? Some times they suck up your gamming memory. I hit START then Run then type in msconfig open the start up tab to the right and uncheck and non neccessary programs, and then restart the computer. 2.53 or 3.0 Ghz cpu's can run the game but you need to free up your memory. I run my games with 2 gig's of DDR RAM. Games will run on low res 1024 x 768 with 512 mb DDR Ram low graphic settings but you still need that 512 ram to run free and clear dedicated to your game.
Regards,
Sgt Fresh

Thx for your replies guys.
I have a NVIDIA 6600 GT. Before that I use an ATI 9800 pro, which is now in my server. Pre- 1.12 patch everything was running great with the old CPU and the ATI card. After the 1.12 patch I sarted to get severe stutters, online and offline. The upgrade to the faster CPU and GPU did not change that. It will run a bit better if I go to low settings without alias.
Quite frankly, that's rediculous though. Also, I only have 20 services running while I play.
I know you guys are trying to help, but believe me as an IT dude I know what I am doing. With the hardware upgrades I got all other games flying, but BF won't budge since 1.12.
There simply is a major bug in the code somewhere, no other explantion. Either way, it's clear to me it's graphic related, but it has nothing to do with my system. I think the Canada devision botched the optimization.
P.S. I have 1 Gig of memory, that should be enough. And I should mention that this PC is purely for gaming. No apps are running on it except those required for gaming.

Sorry to hear that.
I am surprised though, as i'm able to run it quite well on my meager system.

I play with the system below in my sig which is very similar to yours, yet I get decent FPS on pretty good settings. You may just have missed something in the new install. Are you sure you haven't forgotten to turn off some option in BF setup or in your graphics driver config? Cheers Mr B

Actually, it's been pointed out in one of the other BF forums that memory usage in 1.2 has increased by 200 Mb! Many people with just a gig of RAM are having problems now.
A hotfix for 1.2 has been announced by EA, but I would say it's doubtful it will address this issue.
