Graphics Questions- (8600gt) computer adds additional ~750megs...

I think this picture will explain myself better.

My question is, will it really help my performance, seeing as my card is obviously only 512, so this has to be adding up to most of it... Second question is how well will this run Crysis after tweaking a little, the pic is showing recommended on Crysis. (my friends bought it for me to see it on my new computer) Third question is will the overclocked q6600 help my performance as well (as you can see it runs a little over 3 from the stock 2.4)

im not exactly sure why yours is seeing 1.2gb - my 8600M GT in my laptop did the same thing, except in mine it was because I had 4 gb ram with Vista 32bit, so Windows only saw 3gb ram... and then for some reason Windows lumped the ram it couldn't "see" in with the video card... wtf

but with 2gb ram and vista 64, I really have no idea --> my guess is that is actually a fluke and won't really help you at all =P

As far as Crysis goes though, with my laptop 8600 I could run on 1024X768 with everything on medium smoothly --> if you have the desktop version then you will likely get slightly better results

You are a republican thats cool!!Alejo17

Cool, so if I run at 1280x1024 then I should be similar to you...
