a 333 FSB x 10.5 = 3496.5 MHz
DDR2 800 ram underclocked to 667
Ratio is 1:1

OR

a 333 FSB x 11 = 3663 MHz
DDR2 800 ram still the same
ratio is 5:6

this is the best i can do. i can run a 400 MHz x 9 w/ a ratio of 1:1 but it degraded my hardware after 2 weeks and cant even run for over an hour w/out rebooting itself ( probably due to overvolting)

voltages above the first two choices are way below the max safe as i have researched so i need recommendations of which is the better of the two.

both are stable btw. over 10 hours of 3 tests each under prime95 and 10 hours of memtest
 
The higher clock speed always takes 1st place in performance compared to higher effective DRAM frequencies. And since your 2nd scenario boasts both a higher clock and DRAM frequency, the 2nd choice is apparent regardless of the 5:6 FSB : DRAM ratio.
