As the title states, I'm trying to get my comp to run Crysis; I'm not planning to play it, though.  I want to know what I need in order to get Crysis running because if I can get that running on my system I'll be able to basically run anything on my computer.  I'm trying to run a program called FPS Creator X10, which requires a bunch of processing power and at least a GeForce 8800 graphics card for it to run.  I'm also just want to get my computer to run faster; it's been lagging for some time now; it even happens when I have more than one tab in use on Firefox.  Here's some information I was able to get from a recent DxDiag call-up:

System Information:

System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
System Model: Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC
BIOS: PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.1     
Processor: AMD Turion Dual-Core RM-70 (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
Memory: 2814MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

Display Devices:

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 8200M G
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
 
 

  I need information on where I can get the stuff I need to run the game and where to get it cheap for under $350 or so.  Any information would be much appreciated.

Sorry man..................it ain't gonna happen

Only very specific laptops can be upgraded, and that is not one of them, sorry. 

You can do it but its really not worth it, especially if your only doing it for Crysis.

Like the poster above said-

Running Crysis is not the greatest benchmark to run -absolutely- any programs. Above and beyond video games is video editing; and that takes more RAM than games itself.

Also, games like Crysis and Metro 2033 ain't exactly well-optimized. Even when you have a rig that can run them, and run them well, they're not going to be playable on the highest settings. You can forget ramping up the detail on a laptop all together. 
 
Also, as much as I like Crysis, there are countless FPS titles that are superior in every way.

So, what everyone is telling me is that I can't upgrade this laptop of mine regardless of what I want to do with it.  Also, Crysis shouldn't be my benchmark for my ability to run anything I want on a computer.  What should be my benchmark for running anything on a computer, and is it possible to make a great laptop rig under $500?  
 
P.S.  
@ OllyOxenFree: could you get me that gif, please?  It so... mesmerizing....

I did not know it was possible to build your own laptop...

The thing is most laptops are built with integrated everything. In other words your GPU and CPU are pretty much part of the motherboard and there really is now way to upgrade that stuff outside of purchasing a brand new laptop. On top of that, when it comes to support in games and such, usually mobile versions of GPUs will not be supported for certain games. This is pretty much the main reason I switched to a desktop. All the parts can be replaced, and I can play every game I throw at it.
 
I say save up and get a decent mid range desktop for like 500-600 bucks. That's of course if you really want to get into PC gaming. Otherwise I'm sure you can play some Peggle on your laptop just fine!

" @Rxanadu: Crysis on a laptop MUAH HAHAHA I think If you can run things like Bioshock and maybe Mass Effect 2 well, you are set in terms of pc gaming "

" Like the poster above said-

Laptop's a generally fixed platforms from a hardware perspective, the most you can hope for is a spare dimm slot to increase your memory.  That machine will never run Crysis.

Is it just me or will that GPU setup not actuall support DX11?

Your laptop's done, friend, but you could try to build a new PC: 
 

• ATI HD 5750
• MSI 740G Motherboard
• 2GB DDR3 RAM
• AMD Phenom II X3 710
• PSU
• CoolerMaster Case
• Western Digitall 500GB HDD
• LG DVD Drive

Why would you build a PC with only 2gb of ram?  That's not exactly ideal by any means.
