Don't think you've got a hells chance on playing it on full though I was reading an inteview in EDGE magazine a few months back, they were saying things about 'If you've got the latest DX10 card with 4gb of system RAM... we're gonna pull your machine down' saying that 'we want to invest in the future, so in 10 years time when you've got a new machine you can install Crysis and still be impressed b the graphics'. The guy being interviewed also said 'If your computer can't handle a certain effect you won't even get the chance to enable it. Meaning that if your current PC would run slow with the leaves bending, then you won't be able to enable this option - you won't be able to see it. We chose this so that when you do eventually buy a new system you will be pleasantly surprised'.

I just posted a link about this: Crytek has specifically said that the game will not be possible on the PS3/360 (although they point out that they may dumb the game down at some point in the future, there are no plans as of now, and they WOULD have to tone the graphics down).

Anyone who thinks the PS3/360 are "future proof" is fooling themselves. There are already games well into development that they can't handle.

By the way, I have a SLI-ready Mobo with an NVidia 8800 GTS and 4 Gigs of DDR II 800. I'm ready (minus one more 8800+ card). Just need the game to come out :p
