They're only 'better graphics' in the sense that they allow some DX9 features if you still aren't on DX10, and they tend to emphasize the bigger more noticeable stuff than the smaller. It's really designed specifically for medium-settings DX9 rigs.

My rig has 8600GT. It's a DX10 card, true, but that's all it really was in it's own time. Beaten by any other up-to-date card back then, while only allowing DX10 features to be used. Though, it's still pretty impressive I guess. My CPU is AMD +5800 x2 2.8ghz, which I guess is the best feat of the rig. And 2 gigs of DDR2 memory.

So, I'll consider this as a medium-setting DX9 rig :]

EDIT: By the way, I consider my rig to be quite not so bad. I still have 2 DDR2 DIMM slots to fill, I can update my bios to actually turn AM2 socket into AM3 socket etc. It feels like biggest disturbance is my graphics card.

Should I just buy a new computer or rather a new graphics card and upgrade slowly my computer, until I need completely new one? I was thinking about getting 4 gigs of ram, look out for the 6000 series cards and possibly upgrading my 350W Macron PSU into a better one, for now. I feel like my processor is doing just fine, at least after each dustclean I make.

One of the biggest issues I encountered was however the IGN account thing. I believe my account level won't rise if I constantly create a new account to play with et cetera.

I use my IGN account "unique nickname" as the nick and the password to no avail. The account has been activated through email. It also seems that new accounts must be activated before I can log into them a second time. Meaning that I need to create yet another *sigh* email.

 Here's a solution to your gamespy problem:

1. Start vanilla crysis
2. Click multiplayer, then internet and proceed to create a new gamespy ID of you choosing.
Here I advise you, after entering multiplayer lobby, to press "account" button in the top right and check "save password" and "login automatically" options there.
3. After you have done that u can quit Crysis.
4. You can now restart Living Legends by yet again clicking the fancy MWLL launcher on your Desktop.
5. If you click internet you should now be able to login to gamespy with the ID you just created on step 1.

I hope, this would help.

I'll just try to see what these VPN connections lead to which I have found around in the servers. I'm not fluent with typing Russian, so these servers aren't an option for me. Knowing 4 languages is really a pain. ^^

 You mean Russian MWLL servers? No problem with language, there's a lot of English speaking dudes on that servers(EU people often play there), so Russian is rarely used in chat.

Awesome! I'll try that and see what comes up. ( I'm optimistic about it, since you sound like you know what you're talking about )

And about those VPN servers, it's no problem since I got a key from my friend. He ordered 2x Crysis because he would get somekind of a gamepad with each order. He used another for haxxorz and another for legit gameplay until he quitted. He wasn't sure which key he gave to me, but seems like it works quite well. ( I also noticed that PB isn't activated.. so )
