I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on this. I'm thinking about turning it off, perhaps adding some stability to my system with my Celery 633 hovering at a gigahertz. It's very strange. Runs great at the 104 FSB (Prime95, PassMark, MadOnion, Quake), but Prime95 gets test errors at 100 FSB. Ah well...
 
It's only there as an FCC requirement to help prevent RF interference to surrounding equipment, you can turn it off usually without consequence - I doubt it will gain you any stability though.
 
Depending on how much its spread, its supposed to give you a few extra MHz, not a lot (an article that I've read spread it by 50%, and gained 4MHz from it.)

So I don't think by loosing about less than 10MHz will give you better stability.
