With its brand new microarchitecture, Intel's Core 2 CPU breezed through all our benchmarks, outperforming AMD's latest Athlon 64 FX-62 by a pretty wide margin in the process. But as blazing as Core 2's performance was, what if we told you we could make it run faster without technically overclocking the CPU. Sound interesting?

Join us, as we now explore Core 2's performance with faster memory and lower timings. What kind of an impact would running DDR2 modules at 1,066MHz have on performance? Only one way to find out!
