Default Which game to get

I am stuck currently on which game to buy, my choice was originally Crysis but im not sure weather to get COD 4 or something else. COD 4 online seems to be dying, which leaves me in a dilema. Also i was planning to save up for my new computer i only have £45 and the new parts are £225 so should i just by the game?

COD 4 is dying, but PLACE 5 is pretty healthy at the moment. Not sure whether the weather comes into it though.

Just buy the game, by the way. And don't make a Crysis out of a dilemma!

If you're getting Crysis I'd seriously think about doubling your ram. Or be prepared for very low resolution and/or detail settings.

You could just wait for farcry 2, the multiplayer support in that game is reportedly across all the platforms it is being released on, sounds like fun

I agree with alex, Crysis would probably have to be turned down a lot, which would impact your enjoyment, which is the point. Isn't it.

You want PC-3200 if you go slower then you current RAM will run slower also.

Plus there is next to no price difference.

Also if you only have 1 1GB stick getting a second 1GB stick will mean they run dual channel, which is good.

Brand doesn't have to be the same.

I ended up getting Mass Effect for 360 and am enjoying it very much, would highy recommend.

£25 seems to much for old RAM especally when i can pick up DDR2 2gb 800mhz Patriot at "ARIA" but i would have needed a new motherboard.

I will save up for my upgrades and then get a game.

With a custom system.cfg or game.cfg in the root file of the Crysis install you can expect better performace, in XP i was able to play it on high at 1280x1024 with average of 20 FPS (Frames Per Second) wich is fairly playable but 25-30 FPS (Frames Per Second) is what your looking for.

I have an NVidia 790i Ultra motherboard, Q9450 (quad core) processor, 8 GB's of ddr3 RAM, TWO 9800gx2's and I was STILL not able to play Crysis in all full settings without it bogging down or crashing.

As far as COD4 is concerned? I haven't noticed it being dead on any of the servers I play on.
