    Hi
    I have an asus a8js with Vista, 2.00 GHZ, 1gb ram, and 512 Geforce 7700.
    I also have the latest driver from laptopvideos2go.com
    I tried to run the demo of Crysis and even with everything low and 800 widescreen resolution, the game still lags and is pretty slow.
    I even tried to run the demo under dx9. Still the same.
    Am I doing something wrong? Or is my specs too low?
    Thanks

    (You startup the crysis demo)

    Your Asus: Hi, ready to have some fun?

    Crysis: Prepare for the worst ass kicking of your life!

    Thats crysis for you my friend. Nothing wrong with your system.

    Edit: Also you really need to upgrade your RAM to 2 gigs with vista. That will probably help alot though so you still won't get great performance.

    Bummer. Try more ram? Vista on idle i have found takes upwards of 500mb ram, add in an intensive game like Crysis and youll be out of ram in no time.

    Its the RAM , your video card should handle it at medium.

    put shadows on low, the game will play better, although it will look worse without any shadows
