I seem to be unclear when saying this all the time, to say it correct I would have to say:

Your bus speed, in general on a newer Intel, would be 333mhz... And then your FSB would be 1333 because the FSB is always counted in Quadpumped with newer models (most not too much older models tend to have Quadpumped FSB's as well).

And to run your Memory at a 1:1 ratio with the FSB your Memory would need to be half the speed of the (Quadpumped) FSB. So if your Bus speed is 333Mhz then that would been you have a 1333Mhz FSB, and half of that would be 667Mhz.

So for a standard clock Intel of the newer series you would need to have a 667Mhz DDR2 Memory to run 1:1. And with some models you would need 1066/2= 533Mhz DDR2 Memory.
