Do I double these numbers to see what FSB the system is capable of? If I got a set of ram that was DDR2 800 (Why is this called PC2-6400??? So confusing), could I run 400MHz x 8 = 3.2GHz effectively?
I used to be into all this years ago but I haven't bought a new system for 3-4 years so I am still stuck in the AMD64 and DDR1 era where things seemed simpler.

Short answer yes as long you set your DRAM ratio as 1:1 or DDR667 in your motherboard bios. Any reason why your getting an E6750 since it's a two year old processor?
