Yes, your PC will run Battlefield 2, but don't expecting anything higher than low settings plus 800x600.

This is the so called "optimum performance" for Battlefield Vietnam. I used to have this system:

Athlon XP 2400+
512MB DDR PC2100
GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB (overclocked past Ti4400)
best drivers, tweaked, etc.

And I was able to run Battlefield Vietnam at 800x600, with medium / medium / medium settings. To run the game at 1280x1024 with highest / high / high, you'd need something like Radeon 9800 Pro and 1024MB DDR PC3200.

So these "optimum performance" specs aren't actually true. You won't run the game at highest details and good resolution with their recommendations. Here's what kind of computer you would probably need to run Battlefield 2 at a good resolution (1024x768 and above) and high settings.

Pentium 4 2.8GHz / Athlon XP 2800+ / Athlon 64 2800+ (or higher)
1024MB DDR400
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro / GeForce 6600 GT (or higher)

I say get your budget worked out then just go and Buy what ever fits into that Money Bracket.
