Though my ASUS MoBo will support a quad core, it is limited to a max 4Gb of RAM having only two slots. CloD/IL1946 are the only titled installed, from what you say I may be better going for an Hybrid Drive and maybe OC my current mobo.

With a quad core system, Is there any advantage in setting some programmes such as Headtracking, Saitek Profiler, Fraps to run on the unused (or under-used) cores or does the OS decide which cores to use if cores 1 and 2 are loaded by the demands of the game?

If your memory is DDR3 you should be able to get a hold of 2 x 8GB sticks. They're starting to come through in volume and are getting cheaper and cheaper.
