Triple SLI can't even run Crysis properly.

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

His 3rd sentence in the first paragraph is also correct, It's logical to expect that the next top of the range graphics card will be more powerfull then two current Sli cards as they double in power every generation.

What he hasn't thought about is that it costs far more to buy a new card then to buy a second "last gen" card to use in SLI which IMO is what makes it worth while.

Not to mention it doesn't seem like the guy from the OP is to worried about money. 

Also, not all cards drop in price.  7900 gtxs were always hard to come by, and even now an open box card will cost around $300 on newegg, because they're very hard to find.

That card had major manufacturing issues, from what I recall.  I'm still enjoying my BFG, though. :)
