In certain applications, the overall speed may be dependent on the RAM. If you have a fast CPU but very little RAM then your performance will be slowed.

What is a ram for a CPU?

known as cache, it is embedded in the CPU on all modern chips (CPU's). the CPU RAM, or Cache, is a small amount (less than 50Kb) of very high speed ram. L1 and L2 cache is embedded in new CPU's so that the CPU can work out multiple parts of code, so that less fetch-process-verify-send procedures are made with the system ram, of which holds the whole program.


Will a 1333 mhz CPU run with 1066 mhz ddr 2 ram?

Yes it will 1333mhz is the bus speed of the CPU, however the RAM speed is DDR 2 1066 which means 1066 x 2 bandwidth making it 2132 which is higher bandwidth than the CPU anyway.
