The easiest way to find our server is to type "trea" into you BF2 multiplayer search box.

it only gets dramaticaly slower than the 6800gt on the higher resolutions, and if you're like me that wouldn't matter much, not for the price difference anyway

Remember the sound advice an old poster here gave you a few years ago and you bought that Inno (GF3?) card... Go for the 6800 GT if you have the cash and the bump ain't too much. As long as your CPU can push it you'll be fine at 10x7 with plenty of eye-candy in most new games, although it seems ram (and lots of it - BF2 and FEAR seem to be happier at 1gb upwards) has become as important as a fast GPU.
