So yea your FSB is higher and your RAM is faster but your MCH is running slower. I think thats why you arnt seeing much of a difference.
Relax your performance level to 7 @ 400FSB and you might see more of a spread on your scores.
Also in CoH it looks like you have vert sync on since your min and max are standard values with a LCD of 60Hz. Although this might just be a coincidence :/

The performance is actually better at PL6 not worst. Using a PL6 at 400 does perform slightly better then PL7 based on my setup. There is no reason for me to lower PL from 6 to 7 just to "show" a difference. It's better to use the best setup at 400FSB then the best at 450FSB and review the results. By the same token if I want to decrease delay in the MCH I would need to use PL8 at 450 and so on and so on. It's just not feasible. The MCH is not running slower to a point were performance is hindered. And, I am not using vert sync.

Not necessarily true from a stand point of what your ram and northbridge chip is capable of. If you are limited by either then performance increase hindrance becomes forfeit do to the design of the ram or chipset not by the overclocker's decision.
