what i have....

Asus P4S533
P4 1.8A
512mb Corsair XMS pc3000

I am going to overclock to 2.4 when i get my heatsink, but i want to know what to put my cpu/memory ratio at. right now i have it at 3:5. since i'm at 100Mhz FSB right now, is that 366mhz?? how do i figure that out. Do you just figure that 3:5 would be 100:166, then multiply the 166 by 2 to get the DDR speed?? i don't understand it at all. I want to keep my RAM speeds around DDR370 which is what my RAM is. What should i set my ratio to when i OC the FSB to 133??

Thanks a lot, i have no clue what i'm doing even after a few weeks of reading these boards.
 
You got it right. If your ratio is X:Y, then divide your FSB by X, then multiply by Y and then by 2.

At 133 MHz, you'd want to set your ratio to 4:5.
