If you aren't an overclocker, than no. The DDR2 800 memory is only really needed if you want to overclock your processor to extreme limits - otherwise, if you don't overclock, or overclock mildly, the DDR2 667 memory will work fine.

You'd want DDR2 800 memory - but to save money I'm pretty sure you could hit 2.8ghz with the DDR2 667 @ 350*8

OS then motherboard software. No clue what you mean about chipset - a chipset is part of the hardware.

Which model of each? That will determine the answer. It's roughly:
X1900XTX 7900GTX X1900XT 7900GT X1900GT 7900GS That's a rough approximation. On the ATI side, you could do better than a X1900 with an X1950XTX. Nice card, it will be a little more money, how much I'm not sure since I haven't looked in a couple weeks but I would say less than or equal to $50.
