Agreed, CPU definitely impacts Crysis in a large way. My 40% overclock nets an almost linear 40% speedup in Crysis from what FRAPS is telling me, even at medium settings.
any links to corroborate that?

Quote from Crysis developer:
Shack: Is there dedicated support for 64-bit and dual- and quad-core processors, and if so how does the game distribute its tasks? Do you suggest a higher-clocked dual-core over a quad-core, or is quad-core performance enough to give it the edge?
Cevat Yerli: We support both 64-bit and multi-cores. Multi-core will be beneficial in the experience, particularly in faster but also smoother framerates. 64-bit and higher memory will yield quicker loading times. We recommend quad core over higher clock.
I have not downloaded the demo as I have a place holder HD2600xt in my new system. It actually runs fine for the games I run which are MMO's (LOTR and Tabula Rosa) and for the rest of the stuff I run on this system which is business related. However, have a plan to get a 8800GT or RV670XT as replacement and move the current HD2600XT to my wife's machine. A HD2600XT is not worth trying Crysis on.
