My System Specs

As many have stated, the mouse over features definitely add that something missing to the review - Big props the oompa loompas behind the scenes for making it happen :)

Judging by your specs, Crysis Warhead shouldn't have much trouble at all with your rig. Unfortunately as shown AMD does not perform as well with the game, but still is fairly competitive.
As you have one of the older Phenoms, are you running with the TLB patch disabled, or enabled? If enabled that might be the cause of your adverse performance. If you have it disabled, but are running Vista SP1, Microsoft arbitrarily decided to over ride that and enabled the TLB fix automatically. I believe I put up a small tutorial some time ago about how to work around it.

@MpG
Not a bad idea at all. I will keep it in mind for future reviews - provided there is enough time. I would like to expand on the Ram/OS section, unfortunately that is usually the section that takes the most time. As games become outdated so quickly after release, sometimes trade offs have to be made between more content, and just getting the most desired information out there asap.
