DDR2-800 or DDR-1000 with an E8400?

[Caxus]

I was just about to get a $150 asus 750i motherboard to go with a wolfdale until i noticed that the memory standard for that board is only DDR2-800 and I was planning on getting DDR2-1000. The cheapest 750i board that has a 1000 memory standard is another $50 so i'm tempted to just save some cash on both the board and the ram and go with DDR2-800 and set the FSB to 400mhz with a 1:1 divider (400fsb should be no problem on air with those chips). Would I really see much real world (games) benefit from faster ram or would the 1:1 divider actually yield more of a positive performance difference than the extra ram speed at some other divider? Or would there be no noticable difference at all and I'd be better off saving the money?

You'd get more performance at 400/1:1 than anything else at any divider.

Its Intel slower is usually the same or better. The only benefit you can get out of the faster ram if you run a 1:1 is lower timings but the difference would be minimal at best with a decent kit of DDR800.
