Quick question about intel FSB

Right, I haven't used an intel chip since my trusty old Pentium 2, but I've been pricing up parts for a home theatre PC, and I reckon the cheapest route is a Celeron D....so, the one I've been looking at is a celeron D 320, which has a FSB of 533MHz. Now I know that's quad pumped, but what DDR speed is that equivalent to. I''m guessing 166/333 but I just want some confirmation.

    Black Hawk is right, but Intel likes to run their RAM asynchronously from the bus so I wouldn't worry about it. Just between you and me, I find the s370 Tualatin Celerons very attractive price-wise and there's plenty of great boards available through surplus chains.

    Heh, I meant 266.... that's what I get for posting late at night :)

    Drasnor: I'm going for the celeron D because I want a small form factor PC, so I'm buying a barebones system, currently looking at the IDEQ 210.

    Cheers for the help fellas.
