I am having an issue with battlefield vietnam being very chopy. I have an Athlon XP 2100 and 256 MB of ram and a radeon 9000 pro video card. I have noticed that when it starts to get real chopy my hard drive light is constantly on so I upped the size on my pageing file and that seamed to help a little. I have downloaded all of the updates that I can find for my video card and sound card. Are there any suggestions?

I would suggest a memory upgrade.

I second the suggestion for a memory upgrade. 256 just doesnt cut it for anything anymore really.

The fact that your HDD light is on constantly while playing is a dead give-away that your pc is writing a ton of info to the swap file due to lack of memory.

Battlefield 1942 loved 512 MB of RAM and 768 is even better. I don't imagine Battlefield Vietnam is any less demanding.
