FSB/RAM MHz vs Low SDRAM Delays

Can anyone tell me which angle is the best to go when OCing? If I lower the
SDRAM delays and CAS latency to 4-2-2-2T, I can only overclock my FSB/memory
to 210MHz in the BIOS. If I want to increase FSB/memory to 217MHz, I have
to increase the SDRAM delays to 7-3-3-2T. Which should I be focused on?
Higher FSB/memory MHz or lower SDRAM delays?

Thanks for any replies in advance!

It depends on which software and benchmarks you're running. If your
applications are memory intensive, tighter memory timing will probably be a
little faster. If the applications are more processor intensive, higher FSB
might be best. In my experience, changing memory timings will give you
about 7% more memory bandwidth, while changing the FSB from 210 to 217 will
speed up the processor about 3%.

If you're just concerned about bragging about the fastest processor speed
according to WCPUID, then go with the higher FSB.
