ddr2 667 or 800?

[Lazarus7]

Hey , I know this has been discussed before but it always seems that there are different opinions. My object is to run an e6600 @ ~3.0ghz which I believe will be FSB of 333mhz which will be 1:1 with my ram. Now does this mean I should get 667 ram or go with 800?

Thanks

Get 800 to be safe, but it doesn't have to be REALLY GOOD 800 DDR2 either. Modest timings and no name ICs are fine (read: buy the value stuff if you're strapped for cash). 3.0Ghz is childsplay for an E6600 to reach.
