i have dual sli set up two nividia 8600GTs- 320 mb, i also have GRAW but in the video options of the game the sli is greyed out, therefore uncheckable, however, sli is checked in nvidia options. Does this necessarily mean that the game is only taking advantage of one graphics card? Also my set up is:

Is this adequate to run crysis, using xp so i know the game wont be able to run at highest quality but for second best would this work?

You don't even know what graphics cards you have :S, you thought you have 8600gt when you have 8800gts? Also you may have to make a custom profile in nvidia tools to allow it to use both cards!

Dual SLI is setup in NVIDIA preference pane. I have acknowledged that i have two 8800 gts graphics cards installed each at 320mb. I sorry if that information was unclear. Thus far teh specs to run crysis have not changed. In evaluating my computers performance, i am unsure whether it will support the graphical and processor demand of the game even though my specs surpass or match the recommended specs posted on the Crysis website.

Download the Demo, give it a play and decide for yourself.

I have an 8600GT with only DDR2 and it plays fine with medium settings at 1024x768, I'm sure dual 8800GTS's will handle it at reasonable settings.
