Which is better:
200MHz FSB speed with 100% or 1:1 FSB : Memory ratio results in 200MHz memory speed (DDR400)

200MHz FSB speed with 120% or 5:6 FSB : Memory ratio results in 240MHz memory speed (DDR480)

250MHz FSB speed with 80% or 5:4 FSB : Memory ratio results in 200MHz memory speed (DDR400)
 
It probably depends on what you're trying to do. Some applications get better performance with more memory bandwidth, while others demand lower latency timings.

Why not run FSB at 240 and use the 1:1 ratio? Are you limited to choosing either 200 or 250?
