So a 3.6GHz CPU OC with a 1200MHz ram speed is better than a 4.0GHz CPU OC with say a 1000MHz ram speed?

Maybe not the most scentific test, but here are my results in 3dmark06


9858 3DMarks 3600 Mhz And 1200 Mhz Mem 5-5-5-15

10056 3DMarks 4005 Mhz And 1067 Mhz Mem 4-4-4-8

10066 3DMarks 4005 Mhz And 1187 Mhz Mem 5-5-5-15


The answer to your question is: No. If you want to get scores in 3dmark, anyway.
