   I wish I had that! :( It'll probably run fine on high with those specs, 
and if it doesn't, medium settings will probably get you 35-45 FPS, which is 
damn fast.

    Here's my system:

    XP Home SP2
     AMD Sempron Processor 2800+
     nVidia 6600 GT
     1 Gig RAM

      I've been playing Crysis this morning, it really is good.  :)

    No, DX10 isn't available for XP. What happened was one guy managed to 
simply edit a config file so that XP DX9 gives the same 'very high' settings 
as DX10. I tried it. Now, that nearly killed my machine! Easy enough to swap 
back though, which I did.

    If you get Crysis, and want to tweak the config file yourself, here it 
is:
