I will allow others to comment on the video but I would like to recommend you incrase your RAM from 512mb to 1024mb (1GB) of RAM.

We actually need to know the make and model of the computer or the motherboard model number. As Acklan said, the machine does need more ram.

looks like the onboard video is only sharing 16 megs of system ram?

everest home will tell us your mobo? but as already requested your computer model will also tell us if you have an agp slot?

If you have PCI x16 then I would recommend a 7950GTX or 8600GT card from nVidia. BF2 ain't seen nothing yet when you meet these cards.

Radeon X1550 would be your best choice for all-around performance. It's available on any interface you have and generally goes for about $70-$100 depending on the interface.

And I agree with all those who said you need upgraded RAM. It will improve your game and over system performance tremendously.
