Would [over-clocking] change the overall speeds including the FW 400?
Over-clocking increases the speed of the cpu and perhaps the memory
bus (since its speed is usually a multiple of the cpu's).
It does not change the speed of the i/o buses or their interfaces.
Will it increase i/o throughput? Perhaps. The cpu has to set up the
i/o requests, respond when completed, set up the next ones, respond,
set up, respond, etc. The faster it can do that, the less WAIT time
there is between operations... A busy bus is a happy bus.
