You don't need 2GB instead buy 1GB more and save the money to buy a good graphics card...in April the budget DX10 compatible cards will be out.

Yes 8800GTX & 8800gts are compatible with your mobo

Yes for ur current proccy nd gcards 1 Gb is enough nd for games its ur card which is bottleneck nd not memory or CPU.

Also u can't even get half the real perfomance of 8800GTX in ur system. Ur CPU nd RAM will be a big bottleneck. Ull need about 2GB dual channel nd a min of X2 3800+ to even stress a 8800GTX a lil bit.
