Not True. I've seen nearly a 15fps gain from a 550/100 to my OC'ed 825/155 at 1024 X 768 X 32, maxed. Although I will say that an 850/100 stock didn't perform nearly as well as my OC'ed with high FSB. The 155 FSB with low latency (2) make enormous amounts of FPU which really drives up the FPS in OpenGL and D3D games.
