I have a e2140, with 2GB ram and 8800gt. Can I run crysis? Is it playable? Everything will be on medium?

How far did you OC that e2140? You could probably play with some very high settings through the cfg mods.

The e2140 will hurt you at default speeds.
In my testing with our pcs here at home with our e6600's is the cpu speed hurts the games minimum fps pretty bad until the cpu speed reaches 3ghz...then it starts to level out and going from 3ghz to 3.6ghz really doesnt net any more performance.
But going from 2.4 / 2.6 to 3ghz DEFINITELY has an impact on the min fps.

Now exactly how well your cpu compares to a core2 duo at 3ghz , i cant answer.
Hopefully someone here can.

But with a 3ghz or higher core2 duo and an 8800GT, the game is very playable and as someone already mentioned, you can even run with "very high tweaks" in winxp with an 8800GT.

Ok so let me get this cleared up...You can run Crysis on XP? I'm planning on a new build and all my hardware will handle Crysis NP but just not sure about the os. Don't want to go to vista just yet cause of the memory hog and the glitches. But if I have to I will.

Go with Vista. It will be fine with 2GB of RAM and "the glitches" are overhyped. You'll need Vista at some point if you want to play DX10 titles, so you might as well get in now. Just my $0.02.

you don't need vista. MOST of the directx 10 effects can be had in XP by modding the config file in the game. Just get the game and enjoy it.

All settings on high with 1680x1050 res. Once you get out of the caves you will need to move some to medium. Once you get to the final boss you will move another couple to medium.
