I know this is probably a really simple question to answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere. If my RAM is DDr2 - 800 does this mean my max FSB won't go much higher than 400?

it CAn as long as your ratio is changed, if its 1:1 the NB will try to overclock your ram

Your ram can probably go higher with loosened timings. Even my crappy old ocz platinums could hit 900mhz (aka 450fsb) with cas 5 timings and 2.1v. BTW,, how/why do you have 6gb. 3x2gb right?

It's actually an interesting story. I originally had 4 x 1gb but one stick was DOA. When I went back to Microcenter to return it they gave me 2 x 2gb accidentally so I now actually have 2 x 5-5-5-15 1gb DDR2 - 800 and 2 x 4-5-5-15 2gb DDR2 - 800. I'm thinking about moving to OCZ Reapers for my I45 cause I hear they do well, unfortunately I just don't have the money atm.

Oh, so that is infact dual channel: 2x1gb + 2x2gb. You only returned the dead stick and you kept the other 3 1gig sticks? Did you try and see how far your rams go? Drop the cpu multi and push the fsb. See how far you can go.
