stuttering game

Hello, I've been looking for options to play my bf3 normally since the day it came out but I'm afraid I'm out of options for a long time and I'm no computer expert at all :(

The problem with my game is the constant stuttering during gameplay. Maybe it has something to do with my hardware?

I really hope someone can help me out with this. I'm really out of options :(

My specs are:

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
Jouri

Keep the video card, new everything else.

But I should be able to play this game at low detail at least right? Even that doesn't work. Is my computer really that bad?

If you can't play the game in low detail then yes, you're computer can't handle it. Time for a new comp.

your cpu is to weak, and same goes for the amount of ram, with your gpu you should be able to hit very high details, but your bottlenecking it completely and wasting it,

ok thnx for the replies.

just double your RAM. works for others.

Dual core isn't enough for BF3 multiplayer

lol -- none of these people have any idea what they're talking about.

Your rig is fine -- should be able to play the game at medium everything.

If it's stuttering, it's probably because of your memory. I would try getting 6-8 gigs in there and see what happens. It's not expensive, so go for broke my man. : )

I had 4 Gigs and it was more than enough

Thanks again for all the replies but I'm pretty confused right now :)

If i buy more RAM then i need to buy a new edition of windows too right? (64bit)

Aphexninja is right, you should be able to play the game fine on medium, but why are you using a 32-bit OS on a dual core? It should have been 64 bit from the start. Yes you will only see a benefit from more RAM if you have a 64 bit copy of Windows. Go get 7, vista is a RAM pig and could be one of the symptoms causing your problem.
I'm chuggin along on an
AMD Athlon 2 x4 @ 2.8Ghz
4Gb DDR3 @1333Mhz
Nvidia GTS 250 512MB ( I know old card)
Win 7 64 bit

and I get by just fine.....

Hey thnx for your reply EvlMidniteBomber. I thought i had to use a 32 bit OS because i have 4gb of RAM. Thought that 8GB of RAM is for 64 bit. Can you explain what a dual core is? I really have no clue :)

g o o g l e " dual core processor"
