some various RAM questions

if you have.. say a KT333, that means the motherboard supports 166mhz RAM right (or processors also)?. so then if you have an XP-TBred with 266fsb, and PC3200/ddr400 memory, then you should overclock the cpu from 133, all the way to 200, in order to run in sync with the RAM? So you buy certain RAM speeds according to how far you're going to overclock?

sorry if the questions are kind of all over the place.. heh.

Yes and no. If you have a KT333 board, it uses a divider to determine the PCI and AGP bus speeds. When running at 133MHz FSB, it will use a 1/4 divider to determine a PCI bus speed of 33MHz. Anyway, the KT333 boards also come with a 1/5 divider so at 166MHz, you're still running your PCI and AGP devices in spec (33MHz). Any higher and you begin to run your components out of spec as you don't have any higher dividers to use.

If you were to use an nForce2 board, you wouldn't have this problem as they lock the PCI and AGP buses independent of the FSB.
