)Deffinetely get more ram. I also run it on a 2.4ghz processor, all settings on low except physics, post-processing, and sound to medium at 1280x768 res. It's playable with FPS above 30. It does look very good for low settings. It also makes me envy those with newer PC's though. The only stutter I have is when all kinds of crazy shit is going on around me like tank battles or multiple explosions. It's from my processor trying to calcualte all the complex physics at once along with everything else.
Its gonna be rough.. you processor barely meets the minimum requirement and you are going to need more RAM IMHO. Also, with your video card, don't expect much over medium settings. In some cases, depending on your resolution, you might even dip into low settings to get everything running smoothly. Based on your signature, I would definately ensure that you don't have any unnecessary programs running in the background (also check your MSCONFIG). You might be unnecessarily loading programs like Adobe, certain logitech software (webcam stuff.. ugh), quicktime, real player, yahoo (or any modern messenger service), etc.. Those programs just suck up resources that could be used elsewhere...
Figure I'd post my 2 cents... After playing through Crysis I'll admit I'm going to be waiting for Crysis 2! Hehe... cliff-hanger.
Anyway, I did enjoy the game, but I was not without issues... I did experience multiple crashes and lockups (of the game) and not to mention an odd initial interface issue (because of my resolution).
**SPOILER**
And because of my resolution 1680x1050 I began playing the game with "Optimized" settings which all were MEDIUM. For the first half of the game with was [rather] smooth and [quite] playable, but after being ejected from the alien mountain cavern thingy I was in the "sphere" where it was snowy and blizzardy. This brought my system to it's knees... so I had to go hit LOW for the settings for it be playable again. Grr! Stupid particles. Though it still looked good, and I'm hoping my new Q6700 CPU will remedy this issue for future playing!
Current Specs:
E6300 - 1.86/2/1066 (Technically doesn't meet 'minimum' spec
4096 MB DDR533 [4x 1 GB] (3.25 addressable)
evga e-GeForce 8800 GTS 320
Vista 32
Soon to be Specs:
Q6700 - 2.66/8/1066
4096 MB DDR800 [2x 2GB]
Same GFX and Vista.
Will update when new parts arrive!
) come together. I have tried going through one of the piston type things that launches something and died after multiple attempts. I think I have tried everything. I can't find any guides yet so I'm asking for hints or a spoiler. I just want to continue. 
It is rather disheartening to see that even on the best PCs out there Crysis will struggle to reach 30fps on resolutions above 1600x1200.
Every game, including COD4, I have in my collection I can play at 1920x1200 with 4xAA, 8XAF with max detail and get a lovely smooth framerate on Vista.
But I can only get around 20-24fps on HIGH and that's with AA off.
Yet the two of the cores show about 50% and the other two cores only show 15% use. Not good.
The game feels rushed to me. I just hope future patches will improve the performance on high end PCs, otherwise I feel like I spent all that money upgrading my PC for nothing.
Don't get me wrong, I love the game but I just wished I was able to play with all the eye candy on at high res and still have a nice smooth framerate.
Oh well
Well, maybe. but I'm stuck in the big first village. I've blown up the tanks after finding and freeing the hot asian CIA agent. Now I'm SUPPOSED to get a message getting the next waypoint, but nothing is happening. I don't know where to go. I only know that much because I thought "what the hell is going on?" and read a walkthrough. Pretty serious bug if you ask me.

Had the same issue.
so it says i can play @ 1920x1200 very high everything.. AA off... and it seems to play smooth enough.. until you get into a firefight.. its kinda hard to headshot anyway apparently i was cloaked about 10 yards away dead lined up shot (was in cloak) and apparently a bullet doesnt kill someone when it goes through their eye...
honestly strength and grab/throwing has been killing faster than shooting
multiplayer i dropped my settings way way way way down.. its impossible to play with any jitter... hell it takes long enough to spawn and go find some enemies... ( GET RID OF HAVING TO CLICK TO SPAWN) nuff said.... ohh ya 100P starting is annoying as well.. the game capture moves so fast.. you can win before you can even buy any good weapons... sniping is really useless.. so not cool... buy machine gun cloak in armor up spray on their spawn = win game
So... which game were you playing?
I've never seen a box I've had to click to spawn, and I've been playing power struggle religiously since the release. If you're talking about the spawn points, how is that ANY different from the battlefield series? Tell me how you can win so fast, that's really interesting because I haven't seen it, and unless you know the exact trajectory for TAC drop-shots on enemy HQ's, I simply do not see how winning before you get "good" weapons is even possible. At the least, it takes about 10 minutes into a game before such weapons are even available. Are you telling me you can't get a "good" weapon in under 10 minutes? L2P, srsly. Lastly, sniping is far from useless. Both the gauss rifle and the precision rifle do very well if you have point-and-click skills. I have no qualms with this, and am so far amazed at the hit boxes. (One time all I could see was a bit of a players arm and he was just standing there, took the shot and he went down). Well, if the most you can offer in the way of a tactical assault is to spray one of my bunkers with a machine gun, then I really don't have too much to worry about.
Anyway, performance wise, I run 1680x1050 with everything on High, DX9 and XP. I get a stunning performance on my system, though there are occasional bugs and glitches which can hinder things.

If you're having performance issues, try turning off DX10, putting settings on high (instead of very high) and if that still doesn't work, try uninstalling Vista.
