Memory in Laptop question?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

I have a have Presario X1370US laptop. The FSB is set at 400Mhz. The
memory is PC 2700 which is designed for a 333MhZ FSB. I would have expected
PC3200 ram? Anybody got an idea on this? --L

I found out elsewhere that Intel uses a X4 ultimplier on the system clock
yielding 400Mhz FSB. (AMD uses a X2 multiplier on their XP line.) --L
