It would run, but slower than with 4GB, especially when you have all the bells and whistles. Most people realy recommend at least 4GB.

Highly depends on what the motherboard supports. If there are only 2 slots, then he should buy 1 stick of 4GB in that case, and not 2 sticks of dual channel 2GB. Because otherwise he must throw away those two sticks when he wants to upgrade to 8GB (=2 sticks of dual channel 4GB). And as said, DDR3 is not that cheap to just throwing it away imho. If it was DDR2 then who cares.
