crysis cpu requierments.

im getting a new computer cause the spider webs in this one are starting to get pretty big. im going to buy a new computer from tiger direct and i am looking to run crysis very high.i have the case,power,vid card and etc all figured out, but im having trouble looking at the processor, it comes with a Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Processor 2.80Ghz. i was looking at...

and that said it was a 3.7 Ghz processor for 150$ and i was told to run Crysis next to flawlessly you would need a 3.2 Ghz processor.

i need a processor that fits socket 775 for the motherboard I'm getting and i want to know if this sounds like a good deal. i will have 8 gigs of ram and vista 64 bit so i want to know if this is something i should buy or if you guys could give me input on which processor to get, or if i should just stick with the 2.80.

please and thank you

Hi, your getting confused here, you say it comes with intel core 2 duo, what does are you ordering a barebone bundle or something?

You also said Crysis requires 3.2GHz processor this is for P4, the intel core 2 duo is TWO CORES which means 2.8+2.8=5.6GHz in total.

Hope this helps,

I'm running a Athlon X2 5000 (2.6) with a nvidia 9800 GT with 2 gigs of RAM & run the game with no problems
