XFX 8600GT SLI beats 8800GTS 320MB OC and Costs Less

[Harvik780]

Overclocking my memory from 667Mhz(theo) to 800Mhz(theo) and overcloking processor and mobo FSB from 333Mhz to 400Mhz saw me increase my memory bandwidth from 6GB/sec to over 9GB/sec.
I tested the bandwidth using everest.

Overclocked my CPU to 3.29Ghz with ram linked
The problem was that my secondary mobo P5N-E SLI doesn't like FSB between 400Mhz to 450Mhz.So i set my FSB to 470 and tested with orthos for one hour.Temps are well under control even with the stock cooler.
Memory timings 4-4-4-12.
