I dont know if I like that program very much. If i run BF2 at 1024x768 at lowest/normal settings, it is playable. If anything is at medium or high and shadows are on at all the game is completely unplayable. It stutters so much its virtually impossible to walk. Heres the message I saw after running the scan for BF2.

My System Performance
Your system is among the top 9% of all systems scanned by the Game Advisor.

My computer's location was right next to the fastest gaming rig for BF2. Now if my computer ranks that high, shouldn't the game run a bit better?

Dude Fycus belive it or not... i was in the top 7%... and you have PC-3200 Right? i have PC-2700... I think that system scanner is Wierd.. i was seriously 1 step behind the Fastest PC scanned by this system.. the same as you.. im guessing that this system hasnt scanned alot of PC's... ;)

and i can play Bf2 with high/medium settings with no lag... but that was with the demo.. i heard the game is just plain out buggy and choppy... i really do wanna get BF2 though... it looks hella fun..

Yeah, the game looks like tons of fun, but im not ready to spend more money on games cause i have too many games i havent finished. Also, you could've been in the top 7 just because of the extra MHZ your cpu was running at. It didn't display the ram settings, just the amount of ram, so it could've disregarded the settings of my ram. If the PC analyzer compared a little more in-depth results, itd be pretty handy, but as it is now its not accurate enough unless you are trying to play on a really old comp.

Theres a couple of these game Advisory things that I know of and there not very acurate, it detects your video card and says it's A-Okay cause you meet the required amount of video memory, yet you could be using an ati 9200se and the game would actually run like complete logger when played.....for example a game like BF2 or doom3.. :bucky!:
