3 8800s in SLi =/= the combined power of 3 8800s. SLi is pretty inefficient, and is only useful if there are no better cards on the market yet. A nVidia 9800 or whatever is up next will probably be more powerful than two 8800s in SLi.

Also, the ram is probably another limitation. They should probably up it to 4 gigs using Vista 64-bit.


the bolded part is the only part of your statement that is correct. Please research before you post.

As for your 64-bit comment read this: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/10/16/64-bit_more_than_just_the_ram/1



What was wrong with my 64-bit comment?  Only a 64-bit OS can fully utilize 4gb of ram, and a 64-bit OS would probably speed up processes in Crysis overall.

As to my SLi comment, yes, I may have been over emphasizing a bit, but SLi is somewhat inefficient, even if your mobo has two PCIe slots with 16 lanes each.  My mobo is only PCIe x8 when in SLi, which is why I never bothered to pick up a second 7900gtx.
