i bet every release is reccomended for crysis :P

kinda on topic, sleep mode is awesome! only just started using it (it froze my old system) and its FREAKING SWEET.

System is "off" (no fans, 8W power measured at wall) but literally wakes up to my desktop in 2-3s at most. the PC is often on before the screen is, its awesome
