CPU FSB Vs Memory speeds

[Stonedofmoo]

I'm looking to buy a budget Intel rig, but with a top motherboard so I can upgrade in future.

My plan is get a good motherboard now with a cheaper core duo chip and then upgrade to the Yorkfield quad chips when they come out next year.

The best looking chip for me is the Core Duo 2 E6750 at £115.
The best memory is Geil 6400 memory at £35 for 2gig

The CPU runs at 1333fsb, the memory at 800fsb?
How much of a hinderance would this be. The next upgrade in memory speed seems a lot more expensive for some reason.

Any thoughts?

Oh really? That's great news and makes OcUK's Geil bargain look all the more attractive.

Thanks for the answer, I'm off to hunt for a suitable motherboard now

I see

So whats the point in this really fast and expensive DDR3 memory? It runs much faster than the chip and has higher latencies?
