Hi cheeky...

As with any modern game the main points for consideration when trying to make the game run as good as possible is....

• CPU speed
  Your CPU is fine for Battlefield 2
  
• RAM
  Again 512MB will be fine for Battlefield 2 although 1GB RAM is recommended for optimal performance.
  
• Graphics Hardware
  Your graphics card is just as important as processor speed when playing games.
  If you know your graphics card (or GPU) is sufficient to run the game OK with at least 128MB onboard RAM, also make sure you have the latest available drivers installed.
  
• Resident Software
  Software constantly loaded in the background can lower available system resources to games, especially if they read/write to disk or are involved in active monitoring of disk & network activity.
  For this reason some anti-virus programs and firewalls can significantly interfere with the performance of games & other Windows software and especially the resource hogs like Norton & McAfee, consider disabling these when playing hi-spec game.
  Consider uninstalling/disabling any unnecessary resident software, such as media player task bar launchers, printer monitor software... etc.

Hope that helps
