I'm not sure about this, but just a few days ago I was doing some testing
that made me believe DDR400 won't happen with all chips. I don't have any
400 FSB AMD chips to test with, but I suspect that either:

1-DDR400 RAM might not run above DDR333 unless the CPU is a 400 FSB chip, and/or
2-Dual Channel might not be supported by pre-400 FSB chips.

When I've checked with memtest86+ boards that do support dual channel, I've
found the speed of dual channel over normal to be well under 10%.

If have use for more than 1GB, I'd suggest going for it rather than the
small speed advantage, but otherwise it seems like only .25G more wouldn't
be worth any speed disadvantage.
