Current Athlon processors don't really use the bandwidth of DCDDR400. So if you're trying to get 200FSB then there won't really be a difference except in Sandra. However, Barton cores might make use of the extra bandwidth. So if you plan on upgrading to Barton and don't want to fork out the $$$ for another dimm later then I would definately go ahead and get 2 sticks of 256. The price difference is pretty negligable so you might as well take advantage of the dual channel feature.
