Re: Wanting to upgrade my computer
The e1400 is a good overcloker so buying a new cpu is unnecessary, you would be better of grabbing a good p45 or p43 motherboard and a Sunbeam core contact heat sink and overclocking the Celeron. Crysis isn't very cpu intensive anyways so you should be fine if you can get at least 2.5ghz.
These parts are $400 before mail in rebates and would give you a better chance of running Crysis with the settings you want.
