I don't believe your psu would be causing the problem, it doesn't have to be a 80+.

What I'm thinking that could be a possibilty is you are maxing out your 1 gb vram and it is then eating into your system ram and could be causing the lag/stutter.

I know you said its running at 1.56 GB , but in some maps it may use more especially when there is a lot of activity such as explosions and players and using the vehicles.
I'm not 100% sure but it would not hurt to add more ram, with 2GB of system ram it just appears to be borderline.

yes i think same as you.....i'm lack in memory since i upgrade the windows to win7 32 bit from xp sp3 32 bit...

can this be serious problem with the need in spec from the modern game nowadays
 

No, not PSU, and try to disable that "use application setting" mode.


Upgrade your memory then! :)

Its a shame you did not get Win 64 bit.

I think BF3 is a very demanding game, if you upgraded your ram to 4GB your Win 7 32 will only use 3 GB, that extra 1 gig could make the difference you need.

Ram is very affordable now , so it would be a good idea to upgrade it to 4GB.
