I've got my CPU overclocked, but my memory underclocked a little bit to get the 1:1 ratio. I'm not sure which is better for performance, a 1:1 FSB to RAM ratio, or the RAM at 590 out of the 667 it could be running. Which gives it like a 18:14 ratio. I'm gonna post the same thing over at the ocforums.com and see what happens.

I've got them running both at 230 atm. What would give me better performance?

Specs in Sig, if more specific specs needed just say so.
 
I would assume 1:1 would yield better results than 18:14 (9:7). You are giving the CPU 230 clocks while giving the RAM only, lets say 200 clocks. That means that 30 of the CPU clocks cannot get to the ram until the next clock cycle. That's how I understand it anyway. In a 1:1 ratio, all the CPU clocks line up niceley with the RAM clocks.
