Crysis is not that intense of a game.

A friend of mine runs it just fine (minor shader problems) with a flashed X850GT.

Two 8600GT's will never match the power of one GTX or ever an 8800 GTS 640. And just a little FYI, nothing uses 4 gigs of ram. The actual performance increase you would see from more ram is somewhere in the range of 2% which becomes nothing when you compare a system with 2gigs/GTX vs. 4gigs/8600GT(1 or 2).

2 gigs of ram will suffice for quite a while. For graphic intensive games, always go for the better video card.
