question about ram/cpu for i845GE

I'm getting one of these from newegg..

FIC PC Systems IC-VG61 Small Form Factor P4 Bare Bones PC The FIC Small Form Factor System is the obvious choice in todays crowded world.
Cases features acrylic side windows, on both sides.
Specifications:
Chipset:Intel 845GE
FSB: 400/533MHz
Memory: 2x DDR Slots Supporting 200/266/333
Slots: PCI X 1, AGP X 1
Power Supply: 220W
Onboard Video: Embedded Intel 845GE Graphics
Onboard Audio:AC'97 6 Channel
EIDE ATA interface ATA100

I was wondering.. if I used my 2 sticks of crucial pc2100.. would there be any perf. drop? I figured since 533 mhz = 4 * 133 mhz.. 133 mhz is all i need for the ram speed.. am i correct? If there is a perf drop.. can i just overclock the ram to 166 mhz?

Also, for the cpu.. what can the cpu speed go up to on this mobo for a 533 mhz bus?
I can use any cpu with 533 mhz bus?

thanks in advance..
