It should be 
clear that memory size does not affect its bandwidth. Overclocking slightly 
boosts bandwidth about 500MB/s all around. 
PCMark04 is an application-based benchmark and a 
premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real 
applications instead of including whole applications or using specifically 
created code. This allows PCMark04 to maintain a smaller installation size while 
still giving accurate results.

Please keep in mind that the processor is also overclocked when 
looking at the overclocked results. The memory portion of PCMark04 nets a decent performance 
boost due to overclocking.
