533 v 800

How much performance difference is there between the the two if everything else is the same?

10 to 12%

Not to mention if you crank the FSB.

So, if you went from a 3.06b to a 3.2c, that would be close to 20%?

Okay... I could be wrong... but... isn't the FSB just a connection from the CPU to the RAM? If I'm right then your RAM speed will play a big role in that performance percentage... If your RAM (in effective MHz... 2 sticks dual channel for example) is slower than the 533 MHz FSB then you will see no performance gain going to 800... if it's faster than 533 then you will have that extra head room.
