667 Mhz vs 800 Mhz

[MrMeth]

I have an Amd x2 4800 (@ 2.7 Ghz) with the rest of the system in my sig and i want to upgrade to 4 gigs of ram mainly because its cheap right now and i want to move to a 64 bit OS , the 3 gigs i have in my system now will be migrated to my HTCP system . This is the question how much of a difference will i see if i opt for the 4 gigs of 667mhz ($80) instead of the 4 gigs of 800 mhz ram ($105). Dont forget these prices are in canadian dollars and i cant order crazy deals of of newegg !!! I mean if its only 3-5% I wont even bother with the 800mhz ram and just put the saving towards the 2x 500 gig hds im getting on the same day , It would be nice if you guys had some graphs or benchmarks to help me make up my mind . Thanks in advance !!

Uhmmm....your post has not been here very long, give it time.

What multi and HTT speed are you using for your OC. And, what memory speed are you currently getting?
