FSB matching RAM?

[weezerguy187]

I'm building my first computer, and I was wondering about the FSB matching the RAM speed. Lets say i have a QX6850 at 3.0ghz w/ 1333fsb. What would be the optimum speed of RAM to run with this processor?

The speed of RAM should be the MAX of what the motherboard supports.

To run at a 1:1 ratio, DDR2-667

Save your money, but some crucial balistix, a q6600 and thermalright ultra 120 extreme and run 1:1 at 3.6ghz

So getting Dominator Corsair Ram, 4GB at 1066 isn't needed?

No, invest your money somewhere else.

Pick up some crucial ballistix. They overclock to dominator speeds and cost half the price.
