Sony Vaio VGN-FW45GJ playing Crysis SP Demo DX10, Vista 64-bit

*** Apologies in advance for the lame gameplay. Using one hand to hold up camera and the touchpad instead of a real mouse ***

Vaio VGN-FW45GJ playing Crysis SP Demo, Directx-10, Vista 64-bit.
Notebook specs: Intel Core2-duo 2.53Ghz P8700, 4GB Ram, 1066mhz FSB.
ATi Radeon HD 4650.

Crysis settings which I've found provided still fluid gameplay with most detail: All "Very High" except for 3 settings which are on medium. These settings are: Texture detail, Shadows and Physics.

Resolution: 1280x720.

u hit alt + enter to get that windowed mode..

[rsherfan]

in this case, it was a simple act of pressing the Caps-Lock key that forced windowed mode when playing Crysis (doesn't do it on, say, Mass Effect 2) - as it writes to the screen displaying "CAPS LOCK IS ON" bottom-right of the desktop just above the clock. Quite annoying!!!

How warm does the VAIO get playing Crysis? How loud does the fan get?

[rsherfan]

@DeathToTheseWalls it actually gets pretty warm on the right side near the Esc Key. This can be countered by making sure it has plenty of ventilation underneath... that means don't place it on cushioned surfaces like beds, sofas or blankets... moreso hard surfaces like table tops so that a thin layer of air can pass underneath. If you have one of those cooling platforms for notebooks that is even better.

@DeathToTheseWalls and to answer your second question, after say 20-30 minutes of gameplay the fan does get quite loud but as soon as you press pause, within about 10 seconds the fan slows and is quiet again.
