with SLI 6600s and 2 gig ram(god damn man how did you get a sweet computer with no knowledge of them..) it's certainly not a hardware issue.

Have you tried restarting right before you play? Battlefield 2 does this to me, simply because it does not properly shut down. If a game uses a lot of memory, and the programmers forget to delete just one of those handles when the game exits, it keeps your RAM locked up until the next reboot. Try rebooting right before you play, and see how that goes. If you notice the laggyness, check out your % used of RAM (ctrl / alt / delete) and report back..
