Punkbuster is a requirement for online play. It should have installed
silently with BF2. Do not confuse Punkbuster with Gamespy which is
totally optional. When you launch BF2, go to your Task manager and see
if pnkbusterA and B are running. There are occasions when you may hit
a problem with it, www.evenbalance.com has lots of information about
troubleshooting. I run an app called PBsetup which manually updates my
punkbuster since the automatic updates often fail.
Frankly some servers attract lower ranked players, some higher. I play
on servers with a few generals - it makes me play harder.
Your setup should be fine as long as you dont upgrade to Vista....
