THe problem is that i dont now nothing about ram and shit like that, so i wanted to ask you for your opinion on what should i buy.
I have a core2duo E6600 with a 8800gts and vista 64.

4 GB PC2-6400 (DDR2-800) 5-5-5-15 Dual Channel.
70euros for 4 gigs.

Anyway, as long as its not generic shit it will be fine, so g-skill, corsair, ocz, kingston, etc etc. just not cheap crap like patriot.
Also, make sure your mobo can support more than 4 gigs, i've got basically the same exact system as you and when i was shopping for mobos a lot of them only supported 4 gigs.
i also want like 8 gigs of ram. but i have no idea of tech specs and speeds of that shit.
what did you get?
Memory 4 x 240-pin DIMM sockets
Dual Channel DDR2
Maximum of 8GB of DDR2 533/667/800/1200MHz SLI-Ready memory
thats what she said
Faster is faster.
Your Mobo supports several different speeds, and it looks like it tops out at 1200Mhz. Like EQ said, if you put slower ram in with faster ram, it all runs at the lower speed.
So if you're running 500Mhz ram now and plunk down the extra cash for 1200Mhz, its going to run at 500Mhz and you just wasted cash. But ram being as cheap as it is, you might as well replace the Dino-Ram with 1200Mhz sticks and really get things movin.
