First, not quite the main question, why would you want to run your memory faster than your CPU bus?
I read that 3:4 and 4:5 memory ratios are more desirable than 1:1. I am planning to get the Intel 2.8 @ 175 FSB. At this speed, the memory speed would be 437.5 @ 4:5 and 466 @ 3:4. Do I need to get DDR466 to pull this off? I hear Corsair DDR is great at OCing and I would like to get one or two sticks of this: http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=85013-1 in an ABIT IT7-MAX2. Would DDR433 or 400 be ok for both these speeds? If I got the DDR433 instead of the DDR400, and I did a slight OC in the 433 instead of a more significant OC with the 400, would it run more stable? Thanks for any help
