Amann, you didn't tell us what your average ping is.

I am thinking about upgrading and am interested in rigs because my ping is always high (170-230)

I am wondering if it is more my distance from the server (New Mexico to Georgia) or my rig.

I have:

AMD Atholon 64 X2 Dual 6000+ 3.02Ghz
3.25 GB of Ram
NVIDIA Geforce 8600GT vid card

I run everything on low.

I do OK, usually in the top 3 scorers on my team but am no match one on one against someone with a ping around 70-90

I am thinking about building a rig with the new Bulldozer cpu coming out in the next month or two.

What do you guys think?

The ping i see for the server in the browser is about 38 to 41. when i am on the server my ping is between 100 to 110.

I also found this on an EA forum.

Reported issues noted by DICE.

- Ping in-game differs from real ping (usually 50-100ms difference): This is due to round-trip latency for an in game packet.

In the server browser the actual ping is reported. I get around 38-41 in the browser and ~100 -110 ingame.

Note a slower PC will increase what is reported in game. The slower your pc the more out of sync you are with the server.

1. How do I get my FPS to show on screen?

2. That's all, refer to 1.

3. Then I'll answer the rest of the questions

This topic moved to its own category. Thanks for drawing it to my attention that this would be a great topic.
