Underclocking DRAM vs Overclocking FSB - boost performance?

[applause182]

Hi, I scored 5057 on 3dMark06, how much more could i get if i underclocked the ram to 667 or overclock the fsb to get a 1:1 ratio between the fsb and dram. Would this even improve game performance by more than like 3fps?...Please Let Me Know

Yeah that is exactly what I do.

Core 2 Duo E6600 (2400/1066 @ 3000/1333, CPU at: 1.375 Volts).

It'll improve performance because it'll overclock your CPU and cache hit rate will stay the same (FSB will be higher as relative to new CPU speed, better sync on RAM, basic MCH pre-fetching will suffer minorly).

It you want to overclock your CPU, then yes, go for it.
