Hey. I'm looking at building a Celeron D system that could potentially be upgraded to Pentium D.
I was looking at the Asus P5LD2, but I'm not stuck to it at all...

It lists the Celeron D as a compatible CPU type.. but it also lists the FSB as 1066/800... the Celeron D is 533.. will the Celeron be able to run at 533? I plan to overclock it to 800fsb anyways, but I was just confused about this oddity. The other motherboards I see are all listed the same.
So whats the deal with DDR2 memory. If I want to run at a 200mhz FSB, what do I need to buy? It lists ddr2 400 (PC2 3200), but there is very little there. Tons of DDR2 533 is available (at the same price).. is that what I'm supposed to go with? Or something even higher? Stupid new technology ;-]
