Am I correct in assuming that if you're running a 533Mhz chip @ 133MHz FSB, even if the ram is PC2700 (rated @ 333MHz), it's still only running at 266MHz because of your FSB (ie. 133MHz x 2 = 266MHz)?
If this is true, then what would be the point of using PC2700 ram in such a system if you never have any intention of overclocking (eg. Dell systems), thus the power of the ram is never utilized? A marketing thing? Or does using PC2700 over PC2100 in a system like that still provide better peformance even if you never go over 133MHz FSB?
