Maybe it's not really worth pushing the FSB and creating that extra heat for nothing.
It's a real debate. In most tests, low multi/high FSB has in fact no real world application improvement over high multi/lowFSB. The memory latency does have, though, depending on applications.
That's why I preferred a lower memory frequency with a CAS4 (8x475, 950MHz memory)
I'm lucky I can push the FSB without extra heat (9x425 and 8x475 give me same temperatures on the CPU and system) nor extra voltage. Maybe having active cooling on the NB and RAM helps, so I go for the 475 FSB
