    If it is 64bit memory bus will it have a big effect? Any way to increase the memory bus or increase performance ?? You cant make it 128bit can you??

    Is there not a way to unlock it to 128bit, or overclock it, or do something that increases the memory bus ?

    Nope, whats set is set. You can overclock it, but you will still be on 64-bit.
