All I can say is it aint gonna happen... (well sorta)... you see the 4200ti simply will not run the game that is why the game shuts down each time, however there is a mod out there (from what I hear) that will disable certain shader effects allowing your card to run BF2, not very well mind you but there is a chance it will run.

As for what to buy thats simple get an amd processor get a gig of ram and get a fairly recent video card if on a budget it maybe wise to wait a little since the next gen of budget cards are coming out soon and the 6200 is fairly decent as far as low end products go.

What you will need is a good mother board if you plan to spend a lot wait a little and see if crossfire will be better then SLI if you are on a limited budget grab an nforce4 board get an amd 3000+ (venice) buy a gig of ocz value ram and I'd say either wait a little for a new vid card or just get the 6600gt or 800xl or maybe even go down another notch and grab just a 6200 and upgrade a little later. As far as your choice in powersupply go for this system you could grab a 520watt powerstream ocz it would be excessive but it will last with you for a fairly long time until next upgrade however what you should be fine for a time with your basic 350watt power supply again I can't be to specific as I do not know how much you plan to spend

I have a pretty poor system for BF2. (Look at sig)
But i can get average 25fps on Medium settings (With 3 of them set high!)
I think thats pretty good for a Ati 9550 256mb, dont you?

You can pick up a 9600 xt 256 for 80 bucks and it will run Bf2 on mid settings quite nicely.
