I have seen alot of this "SLI Certified Memory" I now have 2 8800GT 512's with a EVGA 750i FTW mobo. Yes FTW is really the name.
Now will my CORSAIR XMS2 TWIN2X2048-6400 still work fine with the SLI? Even though its not "SLI Certified"?

As far as I know "sli certified" is just a marketing gemmick, and denotes no real hardware difference.

Yes it will be fine.  You do not need SLI certified memory.

But on the POST screen the word 'enabled' is in green, so it's not a complete rip - off.  :whistle:
