hey guys it's me again.

I have the G41T-AD motherboard (socket 775) and one of the prints on the PCB says "DDR3 1066". I have a Pentium E5700 with 800mhz FSB, which is really limiting the entire system, especially the RAM (4GB), currently running at 800mhz. The Core 2 Duo E8400 which has 1333mhz FSB. Will the RAM clock be bumped up to 1333mhz along with the CPU, or 1066mhz by the motherboard? Does the motherboard limit my RAM's clock speed?

Chipset -

Northbridge: G41
Southbridge: ICH7

Yes, I am about to upgrade to E8400. Would the RAM's speed be increased up to 1333mhz past the mobo's limits as fast the CPU FSB? or is it gonna go up just up to 1066?

Because someone told me that a CPU with greater FSB speeds also overclocks the whole motherboard, going past its limits, I am wondering if that's true?
