from the motherboard info, you can only put in pentium dual core CPU's, the one you've linked to is a core 2 duo which i dont think will be compatible unless there is a BIOS update to enable the use of newer CPU architectures
 
Crysis is a very demanding game - one of the most demanding.

You are doing well to get everything maxed at 1024x768 IMO.
 
nope not maxed medium,., but ive not been involved in anything demanding like lots of exploshions etc ,, i have sen on hp thir is a bios upgrade so ill have t see what tht is i guess.. am i rite in thinking mynownly let down is the fact i dnt have a dual core prossesor
 
what is your current CPU? if you have a fast Pentium 4 you should be ok
