i have intel pentium dual CPU [email protected] ghz

 

on the "can you run it" page it says fail

says i need a intel core duo CPU 2.0 ghz

 

I have nvidia 210 with 1gb of memory

test says fail

you need nvidia gforce8800 GT with 512 mb of memory or better

 

in both cases dont i have better than the minimum? The reason i ask is that i always think of Crysis and the mech warrior server...who doesnt like mech wars?????? And the reason i dont know is cuz im stoopid.

 

is this page actually a sales mechanism for forcing unneccesary upgrades for poor cheapskates like myself?

Looks to me like you definitely meet the "required minimum" but not the "recommended minimum"

I had the thermal take web app tell me I needed like

850 watt power supply,and another place recomended like 550 so ya you kinda have to take it with a grain of salt IMHO .

This link will show you that the 8800gt is much faster/better that a 210

The CPU I think they are suggesting a quad core.

You may be able to run Crysis but at the very minimum specs with very poor quality and poor video.....sorry

Sorry but I do not think so. Crysis is a system hog. The video card makes a world of difference. But by all means he should try it to see if his system can handle it.

 I only meant according to the site tho...lol

sorry should have specified Wiz.

It may run but probably wouldn't be an enjoyable experience...kinda sucks to have to turn everything down just to play it
