u will be able to play both of them fairly well, crysis probably not on high (with good fps) though. maybe u should wait a while since the 8800m card is fairly new and is probably way overpriced at the moment to save a few bucks or maybe even go for an sli system

The only thing I'd question about that laptop is the 5400 rpm drive, it'll be your main bottleneck. I'd suggest upgrading to a 7200 rpm if you can afford that (considering the 3 grand...:p)

Same here. Gaming is definitely involved, but come on, I still need something to do Word on. And my room mate's tiny 14.1 inch HP just won't cut it! :D
