Shuttle Mobo: Need advice on memory timings

[izibo]

I just built a new Shuttle XPC and I need some advice.

I have a FSB 266Mhz Processor (mobile athlon) and I wont be overclocking it as I need to keep the system cool (in fact, I am considering undervolting slightly). I also have 2 x 256 OCZ Performance PC3200 RAM.

I would generally run my Processor and RAM at a 1:1 ratio, but now I am slightly confused. I am using the integrated graphics processor on the mobo (nforce 2) and I have heard that performance is increased substantially with higher frequency ram (and that processor load goes down during graphic intensive programs)

So, should I run my processor at 266 and my ram at 266 (1:1)?

or

should I run my processor at 266 and my ram at 400 (2:3)?

Thanks,
Iz

I'm thinking 266/400 should provided faster IGP performance than 266 synch despite the latency penalty because the bandwidth for the video is considerably higher that way but you could run some benchies with both to confirm that.
