Motherboard tweaking?

Ok got a question...
I bought an AMD 3000+ / 333Mhz cpu
and my motherboard supports up to 400Mhz FSB
I'm guessing however that I will be setting the FSB Frequency to 166Mhz (MB supports 100Mhz > 266Mhz FSB frequency settings) right?
and the Memory frequency to 200% of the FSB...
So the Memory Frequency will become 2x166=332Mhz

Now the MB is an nForce2, and I am wonder how does the Dual DDR work with these settings?
Also, I didn't realize that the memory frequency was limited to only 2x the FSB, otherwise I would have just bought the DDR333 instead of the DDR400.

Another thing is, would I be able to run the memory at DDR333 instead of DDR400, and use lower Memory Timings, and still keep the memory pretty stable?

I believe the memory is 6-3-3-2.5
I haven't really had a chance other than open the boxes real quick, before I had to goto work, but managed to grab the MB manual, so I'm reading through it right now
 
Your better off with the Higher Mem as you can still set the FSB above 166 on most NForcey's giving a boost on the CPU and Memory settings or you can lower/tighten the latency's...As far as the Dualship goes, you will only get a minimal boost as effects the built in Graphic cards moreso but put the RAM in Slots 1&3 or 2&3 in most Cases...RTManual for further details
