Differences between DDR2 and DDR, in terms of performance, is really quite a moot point. No AMD system supports DDR2. AFAIK the only measurable difference between the two technologies is the amount of power they each consume. DDR2 is substantially lower voltage (and therefore power consumption is reduced dramatically).
As well all know though, Intel CPU's are more power hungry than AMD's, so any power you save through the use of DDR2 is more than outweighed by the CPU in your system.
For motherboards, I can only recommend Abit, or if you are a serious overclocker, the MSI neo platinum (exact name I forget). Whichever, it should be NForce 4.
