Answer 1

sims 2 would be easy, you need a better graphics card for crysis, maybe an 8800 gs (i have) or 8800 gt, newegg currently selling gs for 70 bucks after rebate and even with only 1 gb ram i can easily run cod4 and command and conquer 3 maxed out

Answer 2

If that's the computer you're on, try running it through a sysreq test:
