Dell E1505 owners I need some help/advice

Is there a reason why the computer should be lagging at the setup screen for BF2?
here are my specs:

e1505 w/ duo core processor t2300 1.66ghz
1gb ram
256mb ati mobility radeon x1400

any help would be great. it's laggin and pissing me off, but i've been told it runs BF2 well at medium settings.
I think it might be because i'm only using 1gb of ram, but that's just me
 
Old drivers for the video card. I doubt its that you only have 1 GB of ram that should be plenty for that game. You actually meet the recommended settings in reguards to ram. According to the specs for BF2 that processor is a bit slow but it is really hard to judge how a dual core 1.66 matches up. I doubt the game is treaded for multi cores so you essencially have a Pentium M 1.66 running this game. First thing I would try is updating the graphics drivers and make sure there isnt some sort of power saving mode on.

I also do not see your video card listed in the "Battlefield 2 only supports the following video cards: " section
