OMFG!! I just watched the Crysis trailer, and my eyes nearly fell out of
my head! O_O

Oh, I missed that bit. It might work for me playing Crysis.
I'll let you go first, though. :op

LOL! Hehe, told you. :)

Cool. It will be a new experience for you. Crysis was built to test DX10,
and some say that it runs better on DX9, but from what I've seen there
really isn't a lot of difference on high settings, it's all good. :)

We shall see.
I notice that my CPU is below the minimum requirements. This should be
interesting...

Heh, no, *you're* costing me money! (Gonna have to upgrade soon,

You should be ok if I can run it on a basic 2800, 1.6GHz.

Of course, today knowing the clock speed of the CPU tells you almost
nothing. ;-) [My 2.2 GHz Athlon64 X2 probably beats the **** out of a 4
GHz Pentium IV.]
PS. STILL downloading...

Yeah, GTX295, 700+w power supply. Oh, and a mobo to go with it. :)
Heck, that's a new computer! O.O

Add a CPU, some RAM, a HD and a new freakin *case* and it will be! ;-)
I'm probably going to have to do that myself sometime soon... Need a
motherboard that isn't socket-939.

...and *still* it downloads...

"A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be
