Default FSB Speed and Memory speed

I am looking at building my first system, and I have a question related to
FSB speed and memory speed. For example, if I were to get a Biostar M7NCD
that supports either PC2100 (266), PC2700 (333), PC3200 (400), do I have to
be running my FSB at the matching speed to take advantage of the faster
memory? For instance, if I would get a AMD XP 1800 such that I run by FSB at
266, would it be a waste to go for the PC2700 or PC3200 (unless of course I
plan to upgrade the processor in the future)?
