what kind of ram module for me?

yea....i didnt realize it and i baught pc3200
i read on mobo manual and it saids that if i have 533FSB it can only support upto pc2700....correct?
and i heard it will only run at DDR266 (FSB533=133x4, thus 133x2=DDR266)
is this true? if so...what module is good for me?
i want a 2x256mb for dual channeling and i have mobo that supports upto DDR400
2.4G 533FSB

You could run that PC3200 RAM at the lower speed, and you could probably play around with some more aggressive timing settings for better performance.

The nice part about having the faster rated RAM is that if/when you upgrade the processor, you won't have to upgrade the RAM too. You'll already have the right stuff
