Quesstion about overclocking ram

Hey, as I understand it a core 2 duo motherboard runs at a FSB of 266MHz at default.
With this kit: GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

Does the 800MHz mean that the board will be guaranteed to run at the advertised CAS latencies with a FSB of 400MHz? Any higher FSB and the RAM won't be guaranteed to run at those speeds?

Correct?

Which board? Most of the C2D boards will run at 450+, depending on how good your cpu is. I'm running the same RAM in my DS3 at 900Mhz at the advertised latencies (4-4-4-12) at the RAMs stock voltage (2.1v).

a ds3 also. my main question though was does the 800MHz mean 400MHz FSB?

cheers

It does if it's on the 2.0 multiplier.
