cs source isn't that demanding and should play fine with that setup (another 512 mb of ram wouldn't hurt though)
also the video card will play bf2 but you're going to want something better.

there is not much difference between 1 gig and 2 gigs for BF2, the load times were just slightly better with my 2 gigs, however 2 gigs is nice because you can get rid of your page file. if you RAID the 2 80's in a RAID 0 configuration, you should have trouble noticing between 1 gig and 2 gigs, I have 4 in a RAID 0 and I can take out a gig and not notice much of a performance loss (no real frame rate loss, and slightly longer load times). if you have one stick of 512, get a second, if you have 2 sticks of 256, get 2 more sticks of 512 (keep the dual channel) then work on the video card.
