Given the choice between a 45nm Core2 or a 65nm Core2 Quad (about the same price), which is better (performance and investment-wise)?

I see 4GB of ram is increasing in popularity, is there really a point?

Also, what kind of power needs would I have with the following main hardware:

8800GT, 2GB DDR2 1066, one of the above processors, one HDD

I have a 550W now just looking to see if I should up it if I get those above upgrades. THANKS
