What ddr 2 memory to buy?

I'm looking to upgrade to AM2 but how do I decide what memory to go for? I know lower timings and higher clock speed are better as well as dual channel. But how do ht and fsb settings relate to the memory I need?

If a retail £65 core 2 duo cpu can reach 5000+ speeds then I would consider it.

Am I right in thinking that 2 sticks of dual channel ddr400 ram gives the same bandwidth as 1 stick of ddr800 ram?

If you need double the fsb of the cpu to get enough bandwidth with 1 stick then does that mean that amd cpus are 4n while ddr2 sticks are 2n?

Does the brand of the memory make any difference to performance?
