Any idea why the 4870X2 rapes the GTX280 in everything (even the 4870 beats it in some categories), except for Crysis?

Crysis is an nVidia biased game - nVidia cards almost always score better than ATi cards in Crysis benchies

X2 has 2 GPUs. And some games work best with nvidia/ati cards. If Crysis is an OpenGL game that would explain why Nvidia is better at Crysis.

It is not OpenGL game.

damnit... CrossfireX would be a no go with my 750W PSU... But who the hell would need that anyway (I play at 1280x1024)  hehe

CUDA was not released back when Crysis came out. It's just some high-tech achitecture preferences, like SPi prefers intel over AMD.

True, true. Though I'm sure CUDA was around well before it was on general release. Though of course, the Crysis nVidia preference is pretty much across the board, if I'm not mistaken, so that would suggest it's not CUDA per se. But, yeah, the reason is almost certainly down to the fact that Crysis is a 'made for nVidia' game (i.e. they had nVidia engineers help them optimise it to run best on nVidia hardware).
