Default RAM and motherboard FSB speed? HELP!

I am not great with all the technical stuff so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot. I keep reading about changing (if necessary) and matching the speed of your RAM with your FSB speed. I have read about a dozen different people say to do it a dozen different ways. What should mine be set at? What would be the best setting for performance? What would be the best settings for stability? Here is what I am working with

Asus P5N-E nForce 650i SLI Chipset LGA775 FSB1333
Intel core 2 Quad Q9300 FSB1333
CORSAIR XMS2 (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin 800 MHz (PC2 6400)

Thanks for the help!

You can leave everything how it is. You're not going to get much difference by making your RAM run at 1:1 with the FSB. If you really want to you can down clock it to DDR2-667 (because it's dual channel) but there is nothing wrong with running it at DDR2-800.
