    Speed and quantity have nothing to do with each other and memory type has nothing to do with the OS or any other software.

    As for #4, doubt it, though since you don't state anything you actually do with your computer we can't tell you a thing.

    1. No, 2Gb of the same speed RAM is not faster than 4Gb.
    2. Yes
    3. Yes
    4. No, not really.

    DDR3 at the moment isn't worth it. The price of DDR2 makes it so much more cost-effective to get 4Gb of DDR2 800, than 2Gb of any DDR3.

    ddr3 right now isnt really optimized to its full potential, and isnt cheap.
    the main reason people used ddr2 over ddr was that it was rapidly falling in price.

    however i would like to see the performance of ddr vs ddr3, will show a much more comparable result

    you can get seriously dirt cheap ddr2 ram, with tight timings at high speeds, DDR2 really is the better option atm.. for the price of 2gb ddr3 you could get many gigs of really high performance ddr2
    i got the asus maximus formula, an x38 chipset with ddr2 support, unlike most being ddr3 from asus. i can get my ddr2 to 1200mhz @ 4/4/4/7
    you know you've made it big on here when you have your own imposter
