11/4    How can my FSB run at 133MHz but my DDR-SDRAM run at 333MHz?
        My BIOS settings appear to allow this.
        \_ Short answer, FSB and "memory speed" are independant. The CPU
           doesn't "talk" directly to the memory, they both "talk" through
           the North Bridge. Google for North Bridge.
        \_ They are both valid settings, but it you use them together there
           might be trouble.  My guess is the RAM would operate at double the
           FSB speed.
