Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying Crysis. Why? Well, any PC gamer already knows why ;). So, the question is, how far can I push the graphics on my rig? Here it is:

Intel Media Motherboard (a generic one, I don't remember what kind it is exactly)
Thermaltake 750W PSU
nVIDIA GeForce 8800GT Superclocked
Pentium Core2 Quad
A-Data DDR2 800GHz 4GB RAM
WD 500GB SATA HD
Seagate 500GB SATA HD
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

Now I don't neccessarily want everything on very high plus max AA, because you would need special Russian black-ops tech for that. But what I would like to know is: what's the max settings I could get away with using this rig? Maybe I could max out with High? Medium? Do I need to switch out my mobo for an nForce and SLI another 8800GT? (by the way I can't afford that right now, but I'm considering doing it next year perhaps).

I say every thing @ High + 2X AA @ 1024x768 resolution. If you want over 1024x768, you have to turn AA to off.

@ 1024x768 + 2X AA most of time you will be over 30FPS.

i get about 30-40 on high with very high objects, no AA running at 1440x900 windowed. On an e4600 at 3.0Ghz, an 8800GT, p5kc mobo, and 3.25GB of ram visible to Vista but 4GB installed. Your system is pretty similar to mine.
