No it wont kill performance ..

You can actually run pretty much the same CPU clocks and usually the NB can go go just as high. It will also be a little more stable with pcDDR2,,6400/800mhz depending on you overall ram timing and the NBmhz you choose to run...Ganged will be best with 32bit OS,, 64bit can take advantage of Unganged with a small hit in single threaded apps..

In all its about finding the right NB freqency and Ram freqency no matter if your using 1066 or 800...The main differance is you can run Lower latency with 800 vs 1066..Again it comes down to how good you can tweak the system to perform..

EXample:

High Freqency GANGED with 1150+mhz ram,,Max NB



Low Freqency UNGAGED with 384mhz ram ,Using less NB than above(stock),,
Only .9s lower 1M superpi run vs the above screenshot..Both configurations play games and Apps exactly the same .Its a very minute differance indeed.

Learning what the system wants is priceless





Your very welcome and happy overclocking,,
