CPU + RAM Confused, need help!

[ste_bla]

looking at the;

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB)

Now on all the CPU's in that section they all say a FSB of 1066, so what ram do i need?

 

[wizardmaxx]

533, 667, 800 ddr2

Depending on what mobo u getting and what performance u want to get out of it.

surely if you put in slower ram it then slows down the CPU?

Also is this a good selection;

Excellent combo.

No the fsb is 266mhz and the cpu is quad pumped to 1066Mhz. The memory being ddr2 will run on a multiplier of the cpu frequency i.e. 1:1 266x2 = 533Mhz

So i could use some slower and cheaper ddr2 667mhz ram..

So then why do people bother with faster ram if all you need is something to run at 533Mhz
