Your FSB and your Ram run independently of each other.
Used to be that when you raise the FSB, the RAM speed goes up with it as well. These days it runs asynchronous of the FSB - it isnt affected by the FSB as much as it used to, not directly anyway. you can run a CPU at say, 200MHz FSB, but if your RAM isnt rated DDR400, you may want to scale back the RAM speed a bit in the BIOS, thereby running it slower than the CPU.
So in short it will only run as fast as the MOBO is capable...333mhz FSB.
As far as I can tell thats the way it is,maybe someone has something to add.... :wink:
