Im looking to buy a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo Processor with a FSB of 1333MHz. Now when I look at memory, I am somewhat confused about what I should get. Could I stick four 800MHz Dual-Channel Sticks in there or do I need to go to DDR3 and get sticks rated at 1333MHz to get the max performance out of the processor and memory? I guess my question boils down to can DDR2 Dual Channel handle a 1333MHz CPU without a loss of performance?

Re: RAM-CPU Question
Well. ok.... but the question remains. With a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo CPU at a FSB speed of 1333MHz, what type of RAM should I be looking for so that I don't get a bottleneck with the Memory Controller.
Maybe Im just saying the wrong thing here. I don't want my CPU to idle because the RAM can't handle all of the data the CPU is sending the RAM... so how would I go about doing that?

they do the higher version quadcore with 1333 bus speed but you need ddr3 to match it but do know they have ddr3 boards 4 100 quid

Re: RAM-CPU Question
Here's just one comparison of, DDRII vs DRRIII, plus there are several more floating around web but they all basically come to the same conclusion.
If you have $'s to burn and are eager for those last extra few points/frames then that's up to you.
