Secondly, you are doing a comparison of Crysis with XP and 7. Xp forces Crysis to DirectX 9 which gives better performance than the DirectX 10 that Vista/7 enables. That could explain your sudden drop in Crysis performance.
Yup windows vista needs 4Gb mmemory to perform equivalent to Xp with 2GB ram. Booting time afer installing 4 Gigs reduces booting time in vista.

Crysis DX10> Crysis DX 9
