1. i take it you mean a p4 2.4 533mhz fsb vs a p4 2.4c 800mhz
Hell yeah you'll see a differance. Hyperthreading lets you do allot more at once then with previous CPUs. The other day i was virus scanning my system while playing BF1942 and it did it without lag. Also ive played WC3 while encoding to divx and it only slowed the encode down by 30 minutes... when i previously tried this playing a game would virtually hault the divx encode. I upgraded from an xp1700 @ 2013mhz and im very very happy with this things speed.

2. HT ownz you
3. 512 is good unless you want to load things faster such as memory hogs like bf1942 but if you go 800mhz fsb your going to need some DDR400 AKA PC3200. I dont know what your upgrading from but chances are your gonna need new ram.
