I have a question, the Battlefield 2 system specs say:

VIDEO
Video card must have 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets:
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 or greater
ATI Radeon 8500 or greater.

Does this mean that I cant use my Geforce FX 5500, so I cant play this game? I have an older computer and this is the best card I can use since I have PCI ports.
Thanks

I have read several reports that the FX5500 will work...hopefully it's the 256MB/128-bit version & not the 128MB/64-bit version

...and test with all video settings to low. The FX5500 was not known as a very good gaming card.
