1.) More ram is always nice, but it shouldn't be "necessary".  Not at all.  And what does "this game doesn't even fully run in DX10" mean?  How about you create clarity instead of more fog.  I know you're new here, but still.  THINK.

If your going to run it on Vista with DX10 you are going to need another 1GB of RAM... Vista itself takes 512MB... and min specs for Crysis are 768 on XP...

Get Vista.  The experience will be best there.  You know they're never going to release DX10 on XP, right?  your card will only be "fully unlocked" in Vista.

A couple hundred more buck for Vista? It costs $100 for Vista Home Premium and that's all you need. It will be cheaper by the time Crysis comes out anyways. Wow, please stop making yourself look like a fool.

You know some hackers and modders out there will figure out a way to get DX10 working with Windows XP. I'm sure it's possible, somehow.  I hope. I've only got 1.5GBs or RAM and Vista really sucks right now for gaming performance.

I am told running vista won't be demanding on your GPU during gameplay

Yeah... if you're running Vista, you'll need more RAM to play Crysis at its best.

Get 1 extra Gig of RAM and Vista. If you do, the 8600 GTS will run Crysis at high.
