Higher FSB, or higher core speed?

On my P4 3.4E Prescott, I can easily hit 4GHz with a 17x multiplier at a 236MHz FSB (specs in sig). I was wondering if at a lower multiplier of 14x and a higher FSB, if I would get better performance out of my chip. I've hit a 270MHz FSB stable which is 3.78GHz on the CPU.

My question is, would a lower FSB with a higher core speed be faster than a higher FSB with a lower core speed?

Thanks
 
well since Mhz does not matter unless u are folding - the higher FSB is better over all i beleive for performance if you do not use alot of %100 CPU usage tasks.

if your not, then you should be folding for team 32 :D
