    Don't worry, I played Airborne when it came out last year. I thought it was so average.

    Really? Wow I had such a great time playing it. Too short, but damn entertaining. Much better than the previous, boooring PC entry, Pacific Assault.

    I've been wanting to play Crysis since they announced it over 20 months ago. I downloaded the demo on my old PC but could barely scrape 10 frames per second on the lowest setting in 640X480!

    640x480! That´s cruel, unplayable!Get ready to play it at (almost) full power!

    What type of system do you have?

    I'm getting an AMD dual core 6400+, 2 GB RAM and two 8800 GT cards running in duel mode! I can't wait! punk

    Ah, you got ahead of me, i opened the thread 20 minutes ago and didn't hit reload while i was checking something else at the same time.

    Looks like a killer system and talking out of 5 years of experiences with AMD's, it WILL be a killer, especially with the sli video cards. But why only 2 gb of ram ?

    Because I'm on XP, the most it would recognise would be 3GB. I could have bought 4GB for another £200, but obviously 1GB would go wasted unless I got Vista. I am not making that sacrifice. 2GB should be fine for a while longer. wink

    Playing Hitman 2: Silent Assassin right now.

    I must add, Jesper Jyd's awesome score adds to the game's atmosphere a LOT. Especially, to those who've played it, the fourth mission cool

    Did anyone else dislike Kyd's score to Assassin's Creed? It wasn't long enough and the amount of times I heard each cue was annoying. slant

    Depends. Stuff like Crysis or CALL OF DUTY 4 will need the extra juice. But i guess you'll be fine for the time being with some settings set to some lower stages for now.

    RAM should be fine. Vista is a memory hog. XP isn't too bad. I seriously cannot see a game benefitting from more than 2GB at the moment. Even currently, the most I've ever seen a game use was close to 900mb. Obviously the OS and background programs are using more, but Crysis is most dependent on CPU and GPU.

    You haven't tried vista. WITH SP1 INSTALLED, currently on my system and some tweaks (vista manager, perfect disk 2008, regvac, ccleaner, tune up utilities 2008) it runs WAY faster and more Stable than XP SP2 on the same system with the same tweaks.

    I haven't played Crysis yet though. wink We're discussing hardware to get to play it!

    And Omaha - I can say COD 4 is great as I've got it for my 360. Crysis is hopefully even better!

    Demetris - http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6182806/p-6.html - 1GB, 2GB or 3GB of memory makes no difference with Crysis! shocked

    Well, my 5 year long struggles with flight simulator 2004 and one year war with fsx have taught me to never listen to such articles that generalize 'cause every single system out there is different from one another; you'll always have to use those articles as guides only that will help you experiment to find the exact settings that suit YOUR system alone wink

    That makes my AMD dual core 4800+, 2GB RAM and 8500 GT card look like a prehistoric system!
    No doubt you´ll be able to play any game at full power. Even Crysis, which with my system ran pretty good.
    So, have fun! (but don´t forget the Horton´s bizarre instruments thing between shot and shot tongue ).

    After some work I finally managed to put together a much better sounding version of "The Quest" from Horton Hears A Who! soundtrack. The 8-track stuff on Varese release is still a mystery.

    When I awaken and my feet hit the floor and I'm able to stand up then it is going to be a good day. Sometimes I'm not grateful I survived the stroke with all of the challenges it presents me but I have somewhat come back and for that I'm grateful.

    What you have gone through, Tom, makes the majority of our complaints seem very petty indeed.
