I have an Onboard Realtek ALC888 and want to buy the Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer (NOT the Pro Fatality). If I buy it, will I hear the diff. ? In other words - Is an upgrade from the ALC888 to the Creative X-Fi Xtremegamer worth it? PS For gaming, I don't care about music.

Ive just bought new parts to build a PC (AMD 7750, 4Gb 800MHZ OCZ RAM, 4870 and an MSI K9A2 Platinum). The PC was VERY unstable before overclocking and overclocking is pretty much impossible so I have decided to return the motherboard. It cost me £105, and I was wondering what I should get as...

Lets say that i get some good ol' ddr2-800 G.Skill CAS 5 RAM. Can i underclock it to 533mhz (on a core 2 duo), and lower the CAS to 2? Wouldn't that offer a performance increase as long as I don't overclock? 533mhz vs. 800mhz on a stock setup is an equal contest right?
