Friendly hello.

Hello everyone, i found this site researching Vista Business 64 bit edition.
I just recently (today) ordered a new setup because i would like to use Vista more often however a single core CPU just doesn't cut it.

Either way, I just ordered a E6550, MSI P6N 650i SLi, 2GB DDR2 667Mhz (which i think is gonna hold me back)

This is an upgrade from an FX-55, Epox 9NPAJ and 2.5gb 400mhz ram.

Rest of my system specs are the X-Fi gamer, 8800GTS(320) and 2x250gb 3Gbs Sata (not in raid)

I'm hoping to be able to play Crysis in DX10 with settings on at least medium settings, when i tried crysis on vista 32(FX55) i could only do low settings and my system struggled.

Anyone else have a similar setup that i'm getting?

BTW i got the upgrade for all of 280.00 Shipped from newegg! :D

the E6550 is definately a lot better than the FX55(Dual core vs Single).
I think Crysis will work just fine @ Medium settings for you.
I have a smiliar setup(C2d,2GB DDR2667 and the likes) but the 8800GTS will surely be able to handle Crysis @ Medium settings.Dont worry :D

My 8600's handle Crysis pretty well on Medium, with the 8800GTS you will have no problems at all.

Welcome to the forums

Yup, Ive got the 8600GTS and it defaults to Medium in Crysis and handles it very well. Hello, by the way!
