    so i just reinstalled crysis and was plying it for like 10 minutes or so..

    attached is the riva tuner screenshot..... i think something is wrong...

    i have the nvidia 8800m gtx , driver 182.05 from laptopvideo2go. (i think)
    on vista 64 bit with 4gb ram, t9300 and ssd.

    gameplay was flawlessly good, just worried about the temps..

    i also reverted back to the x32 bios (from x34 cuz of latency).

    any suggestions on these.. i'd say dangerous temps..
    Note :playing wow or something would only give me like 80*c

    thnx

    EDIT: the resolution of my laptop is 1440x900,
    connected to an HDTV with native resolution of 1367x768(orwhtever it is around there)
    but running 1280x720 stretched to fit the 768 screen.
    crysis is running at HDTV's native resolution

    if this matters at all

    More edit: I cleaned my fans 2 days ago.
    -- playing wow temps fluctuate between 75-85 degrees up and down..(still hooked to hdtv)
