I don't think it would even let you install Crysis with a 7100 :P

A 7100GS can run crysis but at low settings on a really low res (800x600) to get playable frame rates, is not wort it because the game will not be enjoyable.

EDIT: you can get a 8800GT for about $120 dollars, it will run crysis on high at a 1440x900 res, you just need to make sure that your motherboard has a PCI-E 16x slot, but since is a prebuilt one i highly doubt it.

Never trust that program, that videocard isn't supported, and if you try to install it, it will explode.

A 8800gt or a 9600gt are very good ones.

Can you switch the computers and get a better graphics card, or do you have to use the better PC for work?

4850 from ATI is also excellent bang for buck and will run crysis on high.

Neither. 720p (1280*720), 1080i are TV resolutions. PC's have higher resolutions and a different aspect ratio than TV's for a long time.
