    dual 8800's... should run FEAR at max on a laptop

    If you use a external monitor and crank up the resolution to 1920x1200 or higher your going to have to turn stuff down probably, maybe just soft shadows.

    .... depends.

    Dual desktops 8800's bary manage all high on 1920x1200 a notebook version definitely wont.

    The only setup I have seen play Crysis maxed out was Quad 9800GX2 SLI.
