When you install the memory into your system, one of two things will happen; 1.) The memory will set it's speed to match that of the FSB. Seeing as the FSB's base speed is 266Mhz, the memory would be running at DDR2-533 (actual 266Mhz). In this situation, as you raise the FSB, the memory speed will also raise with it. If that does not happen, then the memory will set a divider for itself, and run at DDR2-800 (400Mhz actual) even on a 266Mhz FSB. To overclock, you will have to change the memory:FSB ratio to make the memory run at the same speed as the FSB. If you don't do this, then you will be raising the speed of the memory far beyond what its rated to run it while you raise the FSB.
