There is no way you can tell if it is 2x8 or 2x16 with 8800GTs. The 8800GTs doesn't even fully utilize 8x. You will get the same performance with 2x8 or 2x16. The only cards that I know that will probably bottleneck with 8x are the 260 gtx, 4870x2 and later cards.
Yes, I am fully aware that 8800GT's don't utilize full 2x16, however the board does support 2x16. Even GPU-Z and CPU-Z confirm this. With a 570 SLI mobo which is 16x 8x, GPU-Z will show one card at 16x, the other at 8x, and CPU-Z will only show 8x. With this board, both programs show each slot at 16x. Why is this so hard to believe? It's a proven fact about the EVGA 750i FTW motherboard, and it's why most people who go 750i go with this particular board.

I say you keep your current setup. If it isn't, upgrade your vista to 64 bit as well.
