Crysis single player demo

There has been significant hype when it comes to release of the Crysis demo. I have been evaluating the demo over the past 24 hours. The game is absolutely superior as far as graphics is concerned. Of that there is no question. However to really enjoy the game at it's highest setting in MS Vista 64 bit my 8800 GTS 640 meg card doesn't display enough framerates for the game to be enjoyable. I have an E6700 Intel Duo Core processor so that is not the problem. That means I would need an SLI configuration (my motherboard doesn't support it) or a much greater and far more expensive video card. To play the game at 1680 x 1050 I have to choose medium graphics settings. Even at medium settings the graphics are wonderful but I should be able to run the game at the highest settings. Please note that my processor speed is slightly overclocked as well as my video card. The newest beta video card driver from NVIDIA is also installed.

Another thing that didn't work well is that the demo did not install properly. After three uninstalls and three reinstalls the game never displayed in all programs in Vista 64 bit. I had to physically search for the Electronic Arts folder on my PC. That is not a good thing.
