Setup is as below. Gigabyte P35 board with a Q9450.
Will be adding 8GB (4 sticks) of 8500 RAM.

Questions:
1) I'm guess the ram runs at something other than 1:1 being only 1066MHz compare to 1333Mhz FSB processor? Or am I hopelessly confused here?

2) What's a good expected clock on this board?
 
Ok, so if i've got everything right i'm looking to run a 400ish FSB. Do I need to worry about a divider on the RAM or just go for 1:1 and tighten the timings? (i'd guess 8500 cas5 would happily tighten up at lower speeds? I'd also guess i'm probably better off buying PC 6400 with very tight timings and running it 1:1?)
