Intel pentium E6500
2gb ddr2
Nvidia GeForce gtx 550ti

If you play at anything less than 1080 your cpu will struggle.

I have an e6600, and it is very laggy at parts when i play at 1366x768. When i play on my telly it is much more playable.

You may want to up the ram to 4gb as well as 2gb for vista or windows 7 is pushing it.

Im not to sure about the 550ti but i can get high on my hd 6850 at 1080 with playable fps (other than on caspian border 64 player)
 
That cool then, basically, what i meant was with the cpu (mine in my case) the game performs less at lower resolutions than higher. There is still some bad fps at parts at higher resolutions, but it becomes much more playable and smoother at 1080 high, than say 1366x768 medium. Which ti my brain is silly :P

I think they call it bottlenecking, i presume that what i have, and can see you haveing somehting similar unless playing at 1080.

Hope this helps.

(BTW if im totally off, someone should say so soon :p so dont worry too much haha)
 
CPU makes very little difference in BF3. It is almost entirely limited by GPU, and the 550 will get owned on anything more than medium at HD resolutions. Also you have it the wrong way around, the lower the resolutions the higher CPU workload.

What about my OS?i am running windows 7 home premium 32bit.
Can 32bit support a 4gb ram??

Windows 32 bit can address 32^2 memory spaces which is 4GB. Thats total. So if you have 4GB of RAM installed your system will only be able to use the 4GB minus whats on the graphics card, HDD, sound cards etc. So usually around 1.5GB in your case - not really enough. You would need a 64bit OS to use the whole lot.
 
You will need more RAM. I've had the game eat 4GB by itself very easily in a long gaming session.

This is what i said iirc, his cpu will struggle, mine does now and only upping the resolution will sorts it out, sort of.
