This is where things get confusing for people who don't already know.
Say your FSB is 400. Your ram is Double Data Rate (DDR). If your ram is in a 1:1 ratio with your FSB, your RAM speed will also be 400 Mhz, or DDR2-800.
Intel's 775 FSB is "quad-pumped", meaning that the 1778 FSB you're getting is really 445x4. To get the RAM speed you want from the quad-pumped FSB, simply divide 1778 by 2 to get the DDR2-889 RAM speed you want.
Basically, you had everything right.
