.376MB RAM
.NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440 Vidio card(DEFENTLEY NEEDS UPGRADING)

You have to buy a new PC. The parts are not compatible. Laptop HDs are half the size of the 3.5" PC HDDs. Ram is wider but shorter. You cannot use anything from the laptop.

Video card is on board
CPU could be taken out (pain to do so and why would u)

If you know how to, I suggest buying your own parts and assembling your own PC instead of buying a whole one. It will end up being cheaper.

I don't think you'd need to use the LAN card or soundcard because if you do decide to build your own computer, these things will be onboard. You RAM is probably out of date as well (I suggest PC3200 and up). You could probably use the HD though.

I suggest a socket 939 64bit AMD Processor, 1GB RAM, and a PCIe 6600GT w/ a decent mobo and HD to get BF2 running...

ok so i guess i can save like $30 on a Hard Drive so how much is a socket 939 64bit AMD Processor, 1GB RAM, and a PCIe 6600GT w/ a decent mobo and HD

[studman_27]

i worked it out on a shop site to be $545 is that the right price in that case im preety cool with that cas my dad will buy all the other shit for a pc

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A CELERON PROCESSOR. Get a P4 instead.
