I have 2g of RAM and I can only run it on medium and I was wondering before I bought more RAM if the two cards can take high detail
 
No, the ram might help but probably not that much. It takes two 8800ultras to max out crysis all the way.
 
Im happy with it even on medium but im only trying to go High not Very High

PS: nice layout kof2000

It only lags when things get big (Explosions). I may still get them to get the frame rate up but I really want to know if could run it on high
 
Nope, it wouldn't come close to maxing out. My 8800gt plays it at Very high w/ no AA, and it lagged at the very end. It would seriously take two ultras to max it out.

Takes 3 ultras in triple-SLI to produce a decent frame rate at 4x AA, 1920x*** and very high settings...and even then the frame rate isn't that spectacular.

Guys he's not asking if he can max it out. He's just asking if SLI 8600GTS's will let him run on high instead of medium settings. I seem to remember reading that two 8600GTS's are comparable to a 8800GTX.
 
You think an:
AMD 6000+X2
2gb of DDR2 800 Corsair XMS2 RAM
8800GT 512mb
Vista Premium

You think this system can run Crysis maxed out at 1024x768? Also claims that this air cooled PC stays at a consistant 23C

And how many FPS is required for Crysis to play smoothly?

Also, a kid I know says his rig plays Crysis flawlessly @ 1600x1000 (I forgot the exact resolution).
Q6700 (Liquid Cooled)
DDR3 @ 1067 or whatever
EVGA 8800 Ultra
Vista Ultimate

It won't be able to play it close to Very High, but without AA and AS.

Whoever told you that is extremely ignorant. Two 8600 cant even begin to beat a GTX
