(note- he said DDR2 800, not DDR 800 - though it's not of much
consequence)

The speed of the FSB is independent of the speed of the Memory Bus.

I'm not even convinced of your terminology here.. "overclock the
fsb"!!!

you can increase the FSB speed to the maximum supported by the
motherboard and not more. In doing so, you may overclock the
processor. But you're not overclocking the FSB.
And this doesn't affect the memory bus speed - the speed the RAM runs
at..

However, searching, I just found a post.. Below indicates that some
chipsets , new ones too, DDR2 ones, may have a multiplier/divisor for
the RAM.
In which case.. DaveW's terminology of 'overclocking the fsb' is still
wrong.
And the memory bus speed would then be dependent on the FSB. It'd be
derived from the FSB speed, and a multiplier or divisor.
