P4 1.8A -> 2.4 GHz with DDR333, which chipset?

Hey,

I've been reading these forums for a few days but I'm still terribly confused with this whole over clocking thing. I'm currently running a P3-700/100 at 933/133 so that was easy. Just change the FSB, up the voltage and voila, faster processor, faster memory (I use CAS2 PC133).

But now with P4s it seems more complex. The 1.8A has an FSB of 400. I can up the FSB to 533 but what happens to the memory clock? Will it still be running at PC2100 speeds? What do I do to make it run at PC2700/DDR333 speeds?

The way I see it I can choose a 645DX, 845E or 845G chipset. I don't care for built in graphics and I don't plan to push my CPU beyond this already nice 33% clock increase. If there is some concencus as to what chipset is the one to get I can (hopefully) figure out which mobo to get.

Thanks,

Grynder

PS already have the PC2700 memory so I guess I'm kinda stuck with that.
