    Yep,

    1. Make sure to connect your external monitor via VGA or DVI connector whichever you have.

    2. Goto Control Panel -> Personalize -> Display Settings - Click on monitor "2". Click "Extend my Desktop onto this monitor" then Apply

    Games won't be able to span across dual screens, unless your using CrossFire and the game actually supports multiple screen displays.

    You probably have to look for Crysis's exe parameters to run Dual Screen mode, however I doubt your notebook would be able to handle it, infact, even desktop 8800 GT's in SLI would probably have trouble.
