9x400, less stress (voltage). More fsb doesn't mean faster system (anymore). 400 allows using better performance level.

What do you think is better 8 x 450 or 9 x 400???

450x8 is faster than 400x9

Anyone get better results with Q9450/X3350 OC with 1201 MF or 0401 RF BIOS?

I find 401 is a much better bios than 308, 308 had troubles booting my quad past 460FSB, now on bios 401 it will do 506 FSB, seems my volts might be down a tad.
Only need 1.36v for 450x8

You guys are right. It's the area where x38/x48 shines. Go for 450x8 if it doesn't require much more voltage than 400x9. I was first suggesting 400x9 because my nb requires a lot more juice for 450 than 400 (bad one)...
