Need advice for DDR & MOBO for Core 2 Duo

Hi,

I am planning to buy Core 2 Duo E7600 (3.06 GHz, L2=3MB, FSB=1066). My main usage will be doing programming/coding.

1. Which ram is good? I have been told that ram should operate same frequency as the FSB, so it would be 1066.
Is Kingston HyperX a good match? KHX8500AD2K2/4G, DDR2 1066, 7-7-7-21, 2X2GB?

Since the base freq of DDR 2 is half of the shown freq, means it operate at 533. Should I look for something which operate at 2132 Mhz? I cann't find any of this.

2. Which motherboard is value for money? and stable as well? My friend told me I should look for MOBO with solid cap. Any recommendation?

Thanks.
