Alright, so I don't really NEED to do anything to the system, it's overclocked and stable. Apparently there is a holy grail of 1:1 FSB:dRAM ratio.

Here are some CPUZ shots, what can I raise to get the FSB to a 1:1 raito with DRAM, or what more information would you need, to inform me on this?

There might be a minumum post count required, not sure, but I usually use imgur and .[.i.m.g.].[./.i.m.g.].

The site doesn't allow direct uploading of pics. You need to use a hosting service, like Flicker, Photobucket or Imgur, etc. Once you have an account setup and pics uploaded there, then you can post a link to the pic you want to show here.

Unless you are running a pre-QPI Intel platform or a pre-Hypertransport AMD system, you don't have to worry about any 1:1 ratio between FSB and memory. The FSB of older systems limited the maximum amount of bandwidth available to/from the memory controller, so there was little point in raising memory speed beyond that of the FSB. Latency could improve somewhat, but that was about it.

Unless you are running a Core 2 system (and hey, maybe you are), you shouldn't worry about it too much. Anything slower than that is probably not worth the effort, and anything faster than that doesn't use an FSB. You might be better off testing different memory speeds and timings at the same CPU clock (or as close to the same CPU clock as you can get) to see what has the biggest impact on a memory-sensitive benchmark. SuperPi is a pretty quick-and-dirty way to figure out which memory configuration will provide the most performance. 32m reduces the impact of cache due to its large working set, but you may not want to sit through its extended run time, so 1m may be more practical unless you have a lot of time to tie up your system with nothing but Pi runs.
