Help me understanding E4300 Overclocking Memory Requirement

Thanks for all who reply so far. I don't fully understand it yet, but I'm beginning to get it. DDR2 operates @twice the stated speed, so DDR2-800 memory only runs @400mhz, thus enabling the Anandtech's E4300 review to overclock to 375fsb. However, I"m still confuse about the 2:1 vs 1:1. [1]...
