I guess Crytek realised that the image of "really, really high specs" wasn't exactly the image that would sell lots of products.

It comes with XP instead of Vista. That's about the only "optimized" part I can see. Tiger Direct sucks btw.

Here's a novel concept, why don't we buy games that are "ultra-optimised" instead?

It's not Vista, and it's only 2gig of ram. lol

Good luck getting Dx10.

I forgot where I read it, but apparently it doesn't come with Crysis. I mean... for a computer that was built specifically to play Crysis, it doesn't even bundle it.

2 gigs of RAM was, and is, the standard for XP. Besides, one should be celebrating that it's not.

Dx10 is a marginal improvement, and uh.. it's XP, no shit there isn't Dx10.

You couldn't just upgrade to Vista, you'd also need more ram if you wanted to play Crysis with directX10 was my point.

How they expect this to run crysis fine is that they expect it to run Warhead fine. Fuck the original Crysis.

It's false advertising tbh.

Ok, I see your point. I'm in that situation right now actually, I just got Vista for $2 from school but I'm not going to try it until I pick up another 2 gigs of RAM.

On XP and Dx9, Crysis still is the best looking game, and the only direct benefit of DX10 is 'Very High' which will not be hit by any budget box.

I like how they're advertising Warhead and not Crysis with it. Warhead's supposed to have some performance optimization...

Perhaps in Canada, but Tiger Direct USA kicks ass. Used to buy my parts between Tiger Direct and New Egg all the time.

I've only used it once, but I liked them well enough, although I prefer newegg.
