These are my PC's specs:
Intel c2d E7400 2.80 Mhz with 2GB DDR2 Ram
I wish to replace my ddr2 ram with 4 GB DDR3.

My mobo supports 1333 Mhz DDR3 but will my CPU support 1333 Mhz DDR3 ram because my CPU's specs say it has 1033 Mhz Fsb. I know nothing what it is, its just that both supported ram speed and the Fsb are in Mhz so I think they may be related.

Does it mean it will only support ram upto 1033 Mhz DDR3 or can I buy a 4 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz ram and it will work fine?
