Will this card play Battlefield 2 and how well on my computer? If not whats the best pci card for this game? And changing the motherboard is out of the question because I'm not that good with computers. Thanks for the help.

Get a 5500 that is 128-bit instead. I know jam is going to say avoid 64-bit cards...lol. No offense, but i have a 64-bit x300se and it runs bf2 fine on highest settings at 800x600 at 75Hz.

damasta55r,
I can only make suggestions or recommendations & I usually backup em up with "reputable" websites...what people do with the info is up to them. The X300SE is only a step above integrated graphics. I doubt your claim that you can run BF2 on the "highest settings at 800x600 at 75Hz" with that card. When it comes to PCI-e cards, there aren't many that are worse. Do I need to back that up?

Mitch,
Before buying a card, check the system requirements...BF2 does not support the FX5500. However, it does support the FX5700, so I assume it will support the LE version.
From the EA website:
"SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows XP (32-bit) with Admin rights
1.7 GHz Intel Celeron D / Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP/ Sempron or greater
512 MB of RAM or more
8x or faster CD/DVD drive
2.3 GB free hard drive space or more
DirectX 9.0c compatible (see video)

Hello
I was putting a dell together on their site and I could choose between ATI Radeon X300SE and nVidia GeForce 6800. If I had the money I'd choose the 6800 but that's 190€ extra. But I don't know... will a X300SE do with 1024MB RAM and 2.8GHz CPU if you'd put all settings at medium and resolution: 1024x768?
