If you push some things to hard like your video card it will actually start getting worse scores. Thats when you have hit the top for that particular item, so don't push it anymore if it is doin worse.
 
thats wot i mean, tbh.....

if i raise my FSB 1mhz!, from 100mhz to 101mhz, even then my score for the memory will go down, as will general performance i believe.....

im just asking myself why the heck my memory goes down O_O, cuz i dont know anything about timings and all...
