Just returned from Rome two weeks ago and wanted to let everybody know that the Roma Pass is great. I used it at Castel Santo Angelo, and again in the Colosseum. And it was great to hop in and out of buses, trams, metros, and even the train from Trastevere Station to the Termini using our pass.

Well, I definitely AM going to visit these places,
day 1
St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City
Castel S. Angelo
Piazza Navona
Pantheon
Piazza di Spagna
Day 2
The Colosseum
The Roman Forum
The Capitol and the Vittoriano
Fontana De Trevi
While the third day I'll spend daytripping to Pompeii, Sorrento. Do you think it would be a good idea to get this card? Considering I only have 2 days to spend, and guaranteed free entry to TWO sites...
Or should I take this ROMA ARCHEOLOGIA CARD, which I think lasts for 7 days, though it doesn't cover some of the sights I plan to visit.
Any other suggestion?

We bought both the Roma Pass and the Archeo Card. In my opinion, the Roma Pass is far better. It gives more options, and while it supposedly limits to 2 sites (plus discounts), as stated earlier, they seldom mark them. The Archeo Card gives 7 days, but has only a few sites compared to the Roma Pass and no transportation.
As to the public transport, we used the buses alot. We downloaded the PDF map from the ATAC website for the city bus lines and night lines, printed them in color on some tough cardstock and they were fantastic. If you find a bus or subway packed, wait a few minutes for the next one, it was usually about half full.

could you give me the link to the ATAC website please? I suppose you're correct, in the 2 days there, I might be using lots of the public transport, so...
What are the entrance fees to Roman Forum, Colosseum?

We have been looking into the Roma Pass and it sounds great. One question--I know that we still need a reservation for Borghese but do we tell them we will have a Roma Pass so they do not charge us the Borghese fee (just the 2E reservation fee) or how does that work?
