Fsb is a big issue for anyone that hasn't/won't unlock the L1's.
Using the locked multiplier, pelt cooling (etc) will help reach a higher fsb, only because it's the cpu under strain in that situation.
A pelt will yield a higher CPU OC, but regardless, using a lower multiplier to get the cpu at max stable, with a screaming fsb (=memory bandwidth) is where the performance is. A faster cpu does help the numbers, but it's really only for bragging rights.
