Yeah, I'd say what others have said, What res are you running at? Do you have current video drivers?
Also, 6x AA doesn't look much better than 4x (I can't even see a difference) but you do lose a some performance going to 6x AA, so 4x is probably the best option there.
My X1950XT can run BF2 maxed and 4x AA at 1280x1024 and i get between 80 and 100 Frames a second (but I keep vsync on and locked at 60 frames to eliminate screen tearing; those extra frames get dropped either way so might as well make it look nice 
)
Your X1900XT should be able to get close to my card, at the very least you should be able get 60 FPS.
You may want to scan for viruses just to be sure nothings infected and/or eating all the system resources. And one more thing, Do you have anything running in the background while you play, maybe like Norton or some other Antivirus/Firewall? Norton will really lag BF2 until you go to the settings and allow BF2 to have full internet access and permissions.
Hope this helps

bingo... all else means nothing unless there is details on what "70% in regards to how hight it can go" means... also, "maxed out" means nothing. Just pushing sliders to the max in a game menu does not set everything. There are driver settings that some ppl set w/o knowing what they do... those can kill performance depending on what you set. i.e. if you set AA in the driver at 4x AND set it at 4x in the game... yikes. O.o
The crux of so many problems is always in the little details. 
I run bf2 just fine on my 1900xt512... but my res/settings are different from the OP's...
