[Solved] Verifying something

I have an older Q8300 system sitting on my desk that I decided to fix some things, and to learn overclocking with.

Now, I need something cleared up about the actual stock clock speeds of the CPU, FSB, and RAM.

I know for sure that the CPU is rated at 2.5ghz @ 333 X 7.5.
The FSB is really running at 333 mhz right?

Now the real confusion sets in: The "actual" clock speed for the 800mhz(PC2-6400) RAM is 200 mhz right? Even thou the package says 800mhz?

Now, what if I ran the CPU at 400 x 6.5? The mobo has a physical jumper setting on the board for 400 mhz, but I have yet to figure out what setting I need to get the 6.5, and if I can do that can I get a performance improvement between the CPU and the RAM/Mobo?

Also, I'm under the impression that some kind of clock setting(ratio?) for the RAM would need to be changed, although I'm not sure as the clocks are decoupled....

I guess I'm just too old school for this newer stuff.... I'm used to RAM running at actual CPU speed like on 8088's, 286's, 386's etc =D

Any help, and initial numbers/settings for achieving the 400 x 6.5 number that I need to shoot for would be greatly appreciated. Or if I can't do it, thats ok too.
