To the first question, yes you can use PCI-E 2.0 cards in a 1.1 slot. I'm running a 3870 on my P35, which is a 2.0 card.
As for the second question, I can't say for sure, but I had 4x 1GB sticks of XMS2 DDR2-800 memory, and I was able to overclock it to DDR2-960 speeds, at lower timings. I also has the P5K Deluxe.
