Yeah it probably will bottleneck your system. A 550W powersupply will probably do. Get one from good brands like PC power and cooling, OCZ, or thermaltake.
Lol is the last most I wrote "my" Nvidia WTF? lol

Crysis will easily have an 8800GTX to its knees. Look at the benchmark, that's an average frame rate right there, at 1920x1440, the best the card can manage is 28fps, that's without AA or AF turned on. At 2560x1600, it'd have no chance.

my question still havn't been answered yet...it possible to have 4Gb of RAM on XP...will it pick up?

a lot of people can, due to 30" monitors, and normally Ultras or OCed GTX can run most games smooth with AA and AF on that resolution, and a lot of people have that!
PS 4GB will only work with 64bit XP.

I think it can do up to 8 GB(well at least thats the size most motherboards go up to). I think Vista 64-bit goes up to 160 GB.

no ways i dont think a motherboard can go that high...the highest is 32Gb i think...but one bad thing is that Vista sucks...its need a Service Pack too fix all the crap...and speed it up...

I think servers CAN go that high. Most mainstream motherboards do 8 GB.

Whoa! thats incredible, i know that HDD can go very big but i never thought RAM can go that high, imagine playing games with that much RAM...no more loading...everything will be so fast...
what CPU do they use for servers?

The Desktop CPUs and server CPUs are essentially the same exact product.
The only difference is that server CPUs have tested to much higher stress levels. This allows the ones that pass to be a cut above the desktop CPUs. This is important, as server CPUs are run 24/7, 365 days a year. They need to be dependable.
:EDIT:
Hey abuzar1, I noticed you got a 7900GTX. Very nice ;)

Rofl yeah sorry mate. As for Crysis don't remember saying 'runs fine', but it'll run alright on a lower resolution. For most people, that means it'll run alright, pure and simple. Us with our large widescreens however will suffer. A pair of 8800s might get the job done for you, but at 2560x1600 there's nothing yet out there powerful enough to run the game at max.
