    Definetly go with a 1gb upgrdae and the video card is not bad, but BF2 is getting more power hungry. Id say get a 78 -79 hundred becasue its better. If possible get a 512 upgrade and use the money to get a better video card.

    Since you still have AGP your really tied down with what you could get, PCI-E would be optimal but this is as big as you can go and it will be well worth the money for performance,

    having one gb is good for system Ram but i noticed 2 GB really made a difference on my comp, but if your gonna go two GB id say think about possibly replacing the mobo with PCI e
