Well I did put some muscle into the computer to have it play Crysis on high settings. When I first got the build, it was running this card:

After hearing about Crysis for the first time, I tried playing it with the 8600GT you see there. It was only able to handle the game at Medium settings and I wasn't satisfied with that. When I read about how well the 8800GT performed, I set out to purchase that. I was finally able to hit High settings with Crysis and it slapped a nice grin on my face. The 8800GT you see in my old computer is about a year old now and really packs a nice punch even today. However, since I moved onto my Core i5 750 build (the current computer I use), the old PC was just collecting dust. My father was pissed off about how his Pentium M-equipped laptop from Dell was acting so I suggested that he take my old PC. So yeah, he's using my old one while I'm using my green/blue glowing tank. My old PC is actually overkill for what my father uses a PC for but hey, as long as someone puts it to good use, I'm satisfied.
