If this custom gaming rig from Tiger Direct and EA doesn’t play Crysis, someone better lose their job. The game has been out for almost a year now and the specs listed seem to indicated a good enough system, (2GB of ram…for vista?) so I can only hope that the game will run well on the tuned system. Truth be told, most modern rigs can play the game alright, just not on the ultra-OMG-O-face setting and this system can be built on almost every hardware site for nearly the same price. So, my good gaming friends, I would use the system above as a EA-built reference tool and customize your Crysis computer similarly.
