Matching RAM speeds w/ 1333FSB?

So I finally took the plunge and ordered the P5K/E6750 combination (that price drop was AWESOME). My question is, with both of those running at 1333FSB, is DDR2 667 ram fast enough, or should one step up to the 800 MHz ram?

I understand the notion behind the FSB being "quad-pumped" and the ram being "double-pumped"...ie., running at one quarter of the 1333FSB and one half of the 667 ram, both being equal to 333. Is it ideal to have them matched, or is it better to have the ram with "overhead" that I've seen people speak of here? (I don't plan on OC'ing)

Im interested in this too, I also am going p5k and E6750, and I was thinking of bumping it up from 667 to 800.
