DDR400 VS DDR433

Is it worthwhile to change the FSB/RAM ratio to say 4/6 or whatever to gain the extra 33mhz in RAM speed? That would make my RAM asynchronous also ...

Or is my system going to perform better running synchronous and @ DDR400?

 
Dbo, with Athlons, you HAVE to keep the memory & the FSB in sync. Your processor has a 333Mhz (DDR) FSB. Are you saying that you've got your processor over-clocked? Personally, with your proc., I would change the multiplier to 10x and the FSB to around 215 to 220 (which is really 430-440 DDR). That would get you the most out of both your processor and your memory.
 
A relevant question here:
With videocards, having RAM set faster than the GPU is generally a good thing. Does this work the same way with CPU's and the system RAM? I know that running asynchronously does deal a performance hit, but there must be a threshold where the increase in clock speed of one component set offsets the differing clock speeds.
