It only helps when burning in and you have reached a limit and want to go higher - or if you have gone beyond that limit and you have stability issues.
Putting it well wrapped in a sealed freezer bag for 24-48hrs helps recompress the IC traces inside the ram chips and can allow a higher overclock but more importantly breath life back into failing ram.
You don't need to do that as part of the course - or if in fact it overclocks to the FSB u need.

Thanks for the smooth transaction LiViNgL@rGe
No probs mate
Try these timings mate (These are mine @ 260Mhz)
These should boost your scores a bit mate, but no as much as a dual core!!!

I have not had any time to really play with my new ram and FX60 yet I've been working in Amsterdam!
I had a bit of a strange one when i left on Sunday i put my new chip in on saturday set it up with some of Mav's advise regarding the FSB and voltages and a few other little tips and tricks then used your memory timings.
Everything booted fine and I started tweaking and playing around as you do to achieve my 3rd place spot in 3dmark05 Happy Days!
On Sunday before i left i thought I'd have another little play around (much to the displeasure of the missis this benchmarking is a bit addictive!!)but i found would not boot?
If i put all the settings mav gave me for the chip it booted fine with all the memory options on auto, but putting your RAM setting back in it would not even post so i had to keep resetting the cmos.
This is really strange as the day before the exact same setting were giving me some great results?
I guess the next thing is to test the RAM?
this is the thing i find the most confusing out of everything overclock??
I'm not really sure were to start?
