    It will run Crysis at looowww settings in DX9 mode, but the CPU is a bottleneck.

    I was happy with most aspects about my 1520 - which I just sold - except for the fact that it was too big and too heavy. And I paid over $1200 for mine late last year... :mad: ...with 1-Gb of RAM. It's easy to dual-boot, too, if you have an extra/old copy of XP sitting around.

    you'll be able to play crysis but that cpu is going to hold you back a little but won't be much of a difference. you should overclock the videocard to play crysis on a medium settings.
