Should the FSB of the memory sticks match the FSB of the CPU? I'm about to buy an E8400 CPU 1333 MHz FSB, should I buy DDR3 for the 1333 MHz FSB on them? Or can I stick to DDR2 1066 MHz?

Nope.  Infact you probably won't be able to load in memory sticks at the same frequency as the FSB.  It all depends on what the motherboard can support.
