    Yea, you can run it. Just not full setting, but even my desktop 8800GTX can't do that. :)

    you absolutely will be able to play crysis on high settings, but shaders on medium. many have the top graphics card, dual GPUs, SLI, etc. and still struggle with crysis. maybe when the future 9800GTX comes out, crysis will finally be outmatched and we can all max out the settings.

    Medium settings look more or less great. It's not entirely impressive like high settings, but I'd say it's pretty much on par with say, an xbox 360 game.

    What are you guys talking about?
    My 8600GT OC'ed can run Crysis All High except Textures and shadows on Medium, and still get 20-26 FPS!
    The 8800M GTX OC'ed with Penryn should run CRYSIS great ALL HIGH at Fairly high resolutions

    Agreed with XPS1330. I run with all high, except textures, shaders on medium and shadows on low.

    I can run it on 1280x800 at all high very well...you could easily do it at 1440x900 all high for sure.
