Hello all, I have a somewhat newbish question to ask about RAM.
I have a Q9300 overclocked to a FSB of 400 (1600) and some DDR 2 800 RAM making it a 1:1 if I'm correct in my thinking.
Would I benifit at all from getting a higher speed RAM (i.e.- 1066 or 1200) even though it wouldn't necessarily be synchronous? Thank you for all input and answers.

the actual real world benefit to getting faster ram is negligible
