Windows 7 is the next version of windows to be released some time in the near future, oct I think. In most game it does show a significant amount of improvement over vista and xp.

depends on your processor. With an X2 You need the 800 speed. You should use the 1066 Mhz ram for Phenom, phenom 2, and the newer Dual core and triple core.
