Hm... well I'll be honest, you'll get Crysis to work, I'm not doubting it by any means, it's just... the game is a graphics whore, in other words, what makes a huge part of Crysis is the graphics. Not only that but it a process whore and it will make your processor work hard.


I've had a client in which his son wanting a gaming PC and the father was on a budget, the client got a Q6600 cpu, which is naturally 2.4Ghz, and the kid thought (even after I told the kid and his father face to face that Crysis is gonna need more juice and that dual cores > quad cores in gaming) that I shafted them. And luckily the father remembered exactly what I said, but the kid refused to get a dual core of at least 3.0GHz.

So out of that little scenario the father ended up askin me to build him a machine, take his son's quad core processor and install it onto the father's machine. And just install the dual core onto his kid's machine. Afterwards the kid was pleased and the father was completely amazed in the difference between a single core processor (Pentium 4 HT) and a Quad core.


But anyways, it doesn't hurt to try Crysis on that setup, just don't be upset if the game runs like crap. And honestly, expect to drop the performance to as low as possible. (It honestly saddens me when I see such a beautiful graphics card go to waste)
