That's crazy, but I bet it still couldn't run Crysis... >.>

But really, how would they have it process the origins of the universe? I'm just curious on what kind of simulation would have to go on there. Would it simulate everything at the atomic level?

@andrew
they problay had problems playing pong and a tech guy said they need a better computer.
on the serous side...I can run crisis almost at full and my system spec is.

Windows Shitsta Home Crap eddition
3GB RAM (850 Mhz)
2.1 GHZ processor (667 FSB)
320GB 5400rpm SATA HDD
ATI 3600 256 dedicated GPU

and I can run the game at high spec with no AA (the game's specs are low med high very high)`

Crysis could probaly run at full spec on a $1000 Desktop.. FSX is way more of a pig than Crysis.
