Sorry to bump old thread but i figure it'd be better than starting new one and ppl telling me to search.
My question, If i had the new intel 45nm q9450 with a 1333mhz FSB, would the speed of my system overall be any different if i had DDR2-800, or DDR2-667.
My thinking is that these two communicate with each other and can only run as fast as the slowest of the two. So DDR2-667 matches the 1333mhz FSB 1:1 all stock. While DDR2-800 will be running faster than the 1333mhz FSB stock but effectively wont be running at ddr2-800 speed because its faster than the 1333mhz FSB and the FSB cant keep up. Am i wrong?
