For the same price, which one is better:

Or

Nvidia Geforce 7600GT 256mb DDR3 PCI-E - EVGA

Without any kind of doubt, the 7600 GT.

Would it run BF2 great on a 19" LCD?

Simply saying 19" LCD means nothing. We know the resolution, but not detail settings. We also don't know the rest of your computer.

Would it run BF2 great on a 19" LCD?

Yes. Probably not with all the eye-candy cranked up, but certainly close to it.

By settings, he meant what settings would you like to run BF2. He also wanted to know how is the rest of your computer i.e. CPU, amount of RAM, etc.

Unless you have a very low end system, the 7600 GT will do nicely in BF2, but as I said, probably not with all the eye candy cranked up.

Dell Dimension E521 Tower desktop
AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 3800+
2048M DDR2 RAM
160G SATA hard drive
16X DVD+-RW double layer CD/DVD burner drive,
19" Gateway FPD1960 8ms LCD with DVI 1280 × 1024 (native)

Sorry about that.
