I just build a new system and installed vista home premium :pfff: .

Windows runs really good no problems at all. When I start Battlefield 2 or run 3Dmark the graphic performance is really bad. When I start Battlefield 2, no problem even the menu screen works fine. When I start to load a map (single and mult. player) it takes forever, after about 5 to 10 minutes I am able to click join. After I clicked on join give it another about 5 min and I see a picture and with a really slow moving mouse I can choose my gun. The game starts VERY slow. The funny part is after about another about 2 or 3 minutes walking around (very slow) the game gets faster and to normal fps like I am used to. I tried all kinds of drivers.
Hopefully you guys have an idea?

My System:
Intel Core2 duo E6550
Patriot DDR2 1GB 800Mhz PC6400
SATA HDD from Samsung (40GB)
SATA DVD
ABIT P35-E Mainboard
Vista Home Premium
I maybe think its the HDD?

Thank you for all your help

Sorry forgot the most important thing....

Geforce 7300GS OC

I thought the same thing to get more ram but what I think its wierd is that the game runs fine after about 2 or 3 minutes.

low ram leads to lots swap file use as you load new things in.

uninstall Vista
install Windows XP or 2000 pro
problem will go away probably after that.

[:mousemonkey:2] More RAM and a better graphic card would most likely sort your woes.
