i didnt read every post here..

But IMHO, Low Latency and high HTT can be both good in some ways..

In terms of benchmarking, Low Latency will favor some and higher HTT will favor other benchmarks.

In any case, id take 2225 250+ fsb(100%stable) then 300fsb 2.5-3-3-7 if the total cpu mhz are equal.
