Ddr2 Vs Ddr2

After looking at this thread, I've decided to make a similar thread, only over ddr2 vs ddr2.

It's best to have the FSB of and RAM run at a 1:1 ratio (thanks to -OMEGA-) and the processor I'm going to order has a FSB of 1066 (or maybe 1300, I'm not sure...it's the new Intel quad core 45nm chips coming out). The RAM I have selected is 800mhz, obviously this isn't a 1:1 ratio. Should I purchase 2gigs of DDR2 RAM @ 1066mhz (or faster) or 4gigs of DDR2 RAM @ 800?

I would personally go for the 4Gb's of pc6400, as long as I had a 64bit OS (otherwise the 2gb's of 1033). The speed of the RAM isn't the biggest performance factor, and unused RAM is even less useful, sure, but in a year or so 3gb's of RAM might help, as I've noticed that recent games are getting more RAM hungry, I've seen the witcher use 1.0-1.5 sometimes.

Pc6400 shouldn't bottleneck.

Edit: Eating Icecream makes one slow at typing.. 2x2gb's is best. RAM is always best two, dual channel plus it doesn't overload the address bus. I don't know whether more than two 2 DIMMs need to be ran at a 2t command rate, might be, who knows but Jehovah?!? Wait, Google might.

*That's copypasta* Oh yeah, didja manage to get the Crysis beta working?

Alright thx, also, I (again) deleted the 2nd question, lol because I saw that you answered it already in the DDR2 vs DDR3 Thread.
