800 MHz FSB
Why is the 800 MHz better than a 533 FSB, what makes it better?

Simply put, the faster the CPU can communicate with the RAM, the faster everything in general performs.

Sorta. The FSB is the data pathway between the cpu and the RAM. So yeah, if the data between those two components goes faster, the computer is just that much faster.
