Overclocking some more, need some opinions.

So out of boredom the other day, i decided to tinker with my system a bit, I have usually kept my e5200 near its fsb wall (369 is max, higher will result in a system freeze during ibt). Im wondering if the 200fsb diff, Meaning me keeping it at its highest fsb even matters, Meaning im running it at 1476fsb (369), instead of its 1200ish area where its at 12.5 multi. I know bench wise, it will produce a bit higher scores, but im wondering if real world performance will see a gain.

Same deal with my ram, currently i can not go higher than DDR2 900, due to me being on the 333mhz strap, i lower it down to 266 to go towards DDR1000 and it will restart and downclock. I basically have the same question for the ram, i currently have it at around 900, Would gaming performance see a noticeable hit going to 1000+ from 900?

Im just wondering what you guys think, if the overclocks are worth it, im just trying to get the most of my system for now, im also gonna be vmodding my 9800gtx and attempt to clock it at around 900/2200/1300. So ill report back with the results.

If your wondering why im even ''tinkering'' with it since my Q9550 and 260 are coming back fresh from rma, is due to me trading em when they arrive (media pc inc). So im gonna stick with this system for a bit. Yes my e5200 voltages are ridiculous, bite me ;)
