Given an old computer, retro XP gaming rig?

So to answer that age old question... "Will it run Crysis?" In a word...no. Well, at least not very well. I had to turn the resolution down from 1440x900 to 1280x800 and then turn all other settings to low and then I could get playable frames.

Otherwise, not so much.

Wait, you actually installed and ran Crysis on a socket A PC?

Sure did! Played through the first couple of checkpoints without issue once I changed res and toned down the "graphic blandishments."

EDIT: actually no, at least I don't think so. This is Socket 754, not socket 462. So, Socket A's successor.
