I think, Dirty_pink is right. I also prefer tighter timings at lower FSB than to the contrary.
But there is another important thing: The nature of the software one uses on his computer. If one runs progz with big sequential acess into memory, (for instance, various media processing appz) then highest latencies aren't a big problem, and here, higher FSBs give better results (here, the RDRAMs also perform well, while in the general usage, they suffers from long latency).
But "general usage apps" (very random access into RAM) does not benefit from high FSBs, but rather from low latencies.
So, in my opinion, if one does not build an special workstation say for picture editing or video encoding, I recommend using low latencies at lower FSB, rather than maximizing FSB for heaven's sake.
