3GB I think is the max. I'm not sure what brand is the best but I've never had any problems with Crucial or Kingston. As for the speed just do a search for your motherboard model to see what's the fastest it will support.

If you have 4 slots then I guess it doesn't really matter if you're getting 4x1GB sticks or 2x2GB sticks since you're probably not going to go beyond 4GB total. One other thing to keep in mind is that older motherboards say they support 4GB according to their specs but in reality it's hard to get them stable with the RAM maxed out. An older computer of mine had to have 4x1GB sticks of RAM to get it to post, wouldn't boot with 2x2GB.
