OC question - FSB vs. latency?

With my setup, I am maxed (Prime stable) at these 2 scenarios-which is better?

K8N-E 1005
CG Clawhammer 3000+ (XP-120)
1GB OCZ Gold Rev. 2 PC-4000

I can do:

220FSB with 2-2-2-10 (1.55V)
*or*
230FSB with 2.5-4-4-10 (1.65V)

Which will perform better?

Thanks! Man I wish this board OC'd better!
 
I'm guessing the 220 with tighter timings...try running some memory benchmarks for each one though. i think there are some free ones out.
 
so at 230FSB your a64 is running 100MHz higher? that would probably bring you more performance than the lower ram latencies.
the best option would just be benching both setups and staying with the one with consistantly better performance though.
 
Tried going 200:166 memory ratio yet? Could do 254 FSB (220 memory) and have the processor at 2,286 (254x9) if the board can handle the FSB, that'd probably be the fastest option. Otherwise it depends... would have to test 'em.
