PC Upgrade questions

So, I wasn't going to upgrade my main PC, but after seeing what prices are like the other day, I might have other plans now. I'm thinking a Northwood P4 2.8 to Q6600 might be worth it.

So, the question is, what RAM is best for the following CPU:

Intel Core 2 Quad-Core Q6600 G0 SLACR, 95W, S775, 2.40 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB Cache, Retail

Would like to keep the costs under reasonable control, so 2GB.

Also need a PCI-E card that'll do a reasonable job (coming from an X800XT) without breaking the bank. Suggestions welcome (and yes, I don't mind changing brand).
