Try looking up your RAM using the Crucial Memory Selector on this page.

Thanks for the link, but my question is really.

If I put in say ram to match the fsb on mobo of 333mhz, it will make the cpu be the bottleneck, because of the cpu's fsb 266 or 133mhz ddr ram, so my question is if I go with whatever is the cheapest module now will the mobo use them at the cpu fsb speed, is there a way to slow them down, or will it cause crashes?
