Just out of curiosity, I thought I'd pitch this out there to see if there's anything I'm missing. I'm more of a console gamer, to be completely honest, but I do enjoy the occasional PC game. I recently upgraded to a pretty nice gaming notebook and, of course, picked up Crysis. I've played it on and off over the past couple weeks, but I can't seem to pull off max settings, and I can only go on high in certain, smaller parts of the game. There are even times when medium doesn't quite cut it, and I can forget turning on any AA. Is there something obvious that I'm just not doing? Haha. My specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme 2.8ghz.
Dual Geforce 8800 GTX SLI cards.
4GB DDR2 RAM.
x2 64GB Solid State Drives.
Vista Home Premium SP1.

Crysis is just a very power intensive game. It isn't optimized well, and although the 8800's aren't low end, they're midrange. You should be able to get medium on that machine very easily though, I think. But either way, Crysis is more of a tech demo and it's very poorly optimized.

Thanks for the feedback. That's kind of what I was thinking, but considering my average PC knowledge, I just wanted to ensure I wasn't overlooking anything. I can still run the game beautifully, but it just bothers me that I can't run in on max settings. Haha. Ah well, I hear Warhead's optimized a bit better, so maybe I can do a bit better with that one.

Yeah, you should be able to at least manage high with those specs I'd think, but frankly it's probably just the game. Once they fix optimization issues that laptop should run new stuff beautifully. Also make sure you're doing regular maintance like defragging your computer, spyware, virus scans.

Haha yeah, I at least know to do that much. I just don't feel too sure yet when it comes to advanced gaming, so I like to make sure I'm on track with outside opinions.
I'm still trying to learn, but console gaming is just so much more straightforward haha.

And to TheHerb, as you can probably guess, I wouldn't be the one to spout out numbers for you, but I could tell you that it would likely run it fairly strongly on reasonably high settings, at least in the less stressful environments of the game. There are some spots that, even on low (my only tests in these situations were with everything on low except my object quality, which was still on high, as I was too lazy to restart the game haha), my rig has frame rate troubles.
