I have done a few builds already but some more of the tech questions i have like this one

First let me explain the build

Intel DG33TL Media Series
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor
Basic Case
500 watt Power Supply
DVD Writer SATA
500 Gb Hard Drive SATA
2 GB Ram 667/800 (This is where the question comes in)
8800 GT XXX XFX Card
Windows Vista Home Premium

As you Probobly saw i have a question about the Ram

What Speed Ram should i get and 667/800
Would the system be faster with 4X 512 of either 667/800

You would be better off with two sticks of 1 GB each of memory.

Make sure not to skimp on the PSU. Corsair VX550 is good quality and pretty cheap. You can get a nice set of 2x1GB 800MHz DDR2 for about $85. Look for rebates too.
