I just realized that the memory in this Dell 2400 is running faster than the FSB of the processor. I know it's probably not making much of a difference, but is this good or bad?

It's a 133/533 bus 2.8P4B processor, but both WCPUID and CPU-Z report that the memory is running at 166/667 mhz.

Why is that, and would it really be better to run them in synch?
