    Hi, I was wondering what would be better for my new computer in terms of fps.

    I am limited to two possibilties (one or the other)
    My dilemma is that I have to choose the AMD II X4 Phenom BE955 (3.2ghz)
    and ddr-1600 ram
    OR the AMD II X4 Phenom BE965 (3.4 ghz) and ddr.1333 ram

    The reason for my constraint is that the new c3 revision of the BE965 does not support AMD OverDrive (AOD) --> which is helpful for running 1600 overclocked ram.

    I am interested in the relative importance of ram speed in games, as opposed to the cpu speed.

    Suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!

    Please post this in the overclockers forum in future.

    Personally I do not think you will see enough of an appreciable difference between the two to bother fussing over it.
