    Yes, you have the most powerful laptop gpu out there, so of course Crysis will run fine for you.

    I really hope this was more of a brag thread then an actual question. I mean you know what type of hardware you have.

    Thinly veiled brag. Will Crysis run well with Vista Ultimate instead of XP?

    I'm planning on upgrading to the 8800m.. when is it supposed to come out?

    Check out Gamespot, they have some nice screen shot comparisons for XP and vista as well has in game benchmarks.

    I found it funny that someone was able to hack the demo to allow very high detail in XP, and that the only major difference is shadowing.
