hopefully a simple question: if was to put this (Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 "LGA775 Conroe" 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail) processor in a new rig, does the "1333FSB" bit refer to just what the mobo has to support (G33/P35 chipset, etc.), or does it also mean the memory *has* to match it?

C2D: matching FSB and memory

hmmm, i guess i'm asking which combinations will or will not work. obviously 1333cpu/fsb +1333 mem and 1066/1066 will work, but can you combine a 1333 cpu/fsb with slower memory? obviously it wouldn't be optimal, but does intel's chip support this config (it's been a while since i've looked at choosing a cpu, and i can't find anywhere that gives a definitive yes or no)
