It should run very smoothly setting: everything on high with 8x AA at 1280 x 1024 resolutiuon. (you may be able to up the resolution - just experiment - and lower the AA to compensate if required)

Apart from your memroy your rig is very similar to mine (as mine is clocked) and my system runs the above settings flawlessy. (Your lack of 4gig memroy may be an issue though - i couldn't say for certain)

8xAA bit ambitious with a 4850, regardless of the OC.
 
Nope, it really isn't/wasn't. It ran smooth enough for my experience. (But this was just using high settings not very high and played via 32 bit xp and so used DX 9c)

Of course, these things are subjective - but it was fine for me.

depends on your monitor

my rig gets about 50fps average with settings on high no aa/af in crysis warhead on a 1900X1200 screen

Do mean resolution? Pointless mentioning your FPS on a resolution and setup no where near to what this guy is using; he's not even talking about Warhead.

I still think 1280x1024, all High Dx9 with 8xAA will be sub 30FPS on a 4850. May give it a blast with those settings to see what I get.

I expect it is sub 30 fps in lots of very intensive scenes - but the game is pefectly playable at those settings.

Like i said before, it's a subjective thing - but the 4850 didn't seem to have any major problems during gameplay. There were a couple of scenes where i would say it grumbled but on the whole it managed it admirably.

Give it a blast - it's surprisingly good.
 
Great! Will be playing on a 17" non widescreen, not fussed about resolution really 1280x1024 is perfectly fine, thanks!
 
i'm with plec my 4850 performs extremely well on crysis, admittedly i don't try AA at 8x but im running DX10 at 1680x1050. My version isn't even overclocked. it's playable even on intensive scenes admittedly i have more ram and a quad but i can't say the 4850 itself struggled, if anything lets me down it's the fact my q6600 is at stock. at that resolution it will be great. Will run on high with some AA, the exact amount you'll be able to work out with a little trial and error. Only thing that let's your system down slightly is the 2 gig of ram but even that shouldn't be that much of an issue, if at all.
 
A 17" non-widescreen is probably as high as you can play on that monitor anyway ;-)

At that res you'll at the very least be able to play on high 0xAA/0xAF - likely higher.

Overclock your E7400 if you can, and double that memory to 4gb.
 
If you're after an excuse to buy an extra 2 gig just download windows 7 RC1 64 bit - it's excellent - it's now my only OS ;)

Having said that - if you do download it take into account that i used xp pro 32 bit when playing crysis at the settings i recommended - when using windows 7 and using dx10 - my previous comments will be meaningless as i could only use 2xAA and only get it to play using the 32 bit execution.

Reading that back - i've probably not sold you on windows 7 RC1 - but you could always use the dual boot method. Just remember to install XP first onto the partition...
