Question-which settings for my rig?

Hey I built my computer myself and overclocked it it's run fine perfectly stable but I have a question about my overclock. I have a prescott 2.8, a p4p-800-e-deluxe mb, 1 gig reg crucial 3-3-8 mem, evga 6800 le modded to gt. Now... I overclocked the fsb to around 230 to make my cpu up to 3.2. Its the highest I could get it stable and i have to run the memory at 320 which makes my memory about 380 instead of 400. So... I lowered the cas down to 2.5. My question is... is this better for general performance? I can't notice any difference at all in games/3d mark. Would i be better off running it at stock speed with "pat" enabled? or should i keep it the way i have it now: overclocked cpu/fsb, no "pat", underclocked ram, and .5 lower latency? I have ht enabled either way. Thanks for any help cause I cant notice any difference. Also my temps did not increase at all when I overclocked.
 
p4's are more dependent on bandwidth than on latency. crank up the fsb, and it'll have a much bigger impact than a .5 lower latency.
don't forget that the p4 has a "quad-pumped" bus, so multiply what you get by for to get the effective speed eg, 230=940fsb
the temps wouldn't increase much, unless you boost the voltage on the cpu. then you'll get some roasting happening😛
