Is there a Big performance boost from 800mhz to 1000mhz?

On an Intel system running a divider below 1:1 makes for a decent hit to performance but running above it doesn't make much of a difference. I would leave it at 1:1 and try overclocking, that will offer a huge performance boost.

Im running a divider to keep my ram at stock 800mhz. That will still give me a Performance hit?

That rule really only applies to netburst chips. The more efficient chips, such as the pentium-m and core 2 duo are not bandwidth starved like the netburst chips, it's not any more of a performance hit than an X2 would take.
 
I will concede that the Conroes may benefit (the numbers aren't in yet and the anandtech article suggests it doesn't help much) more from a higher divider than the old netbursts but they are both hurt by a low divider and they will both benefit more from overclocking than raising the FSB divider.
 
I thought the DS3 couldn't divide the memory to run slower than the FSB, due to the option not being in the BIOS 😕

Seems like it does have this though.
