In short.
I wish to run my memory 1:1 ratio with my CPU. My CPU is a Q6600 with 1066mhz FSB. What memory should I buy?


Long version. (To let you know I actually tried)
Q6600 FSB 1066MHz divides to 266 * 4

So to hit a 1:1 ratio should I use 533MHz or 1066MHz?

What confuses me really is I'm not sure if resellers announce the frequency or the RAMBUS in total.


And what if I'm running dual channel? will 533MHz do the trick then or what? 266 * 2 for DDR and * 2 for Dual channel = 1066?

How do I get the optimal speed within my system? Confusing....

Don't confuse me more than I already am plz. (Translates to - Don't post if you are not 100% sure on this topic).
