A quick question guys!

Which is technically faster to run E7400 @ 4Ghz:
1) FSB 400 x 10
2) FSB 380 x 10.5

FYI, '1)' stable at 1.41v and '2)' stable at 1.39v because obviously lower fsb, but which one edged the other one?
I'm just confuse because both has same rating of 4ghz but I researched that higher FSB yield better performance, but still...

So its confirmed that higher FSB is better, but the difference in voltage of 400x10 (1.41v) and 380x10.5 (1.38v) is 0.02-0.03v, so would you still consider 380 x 10.5 despite being lower in voltage compared to 400x10?
What are your opinion fellas?, and please state briefly why, for education and survey purposes

I recommend Asus P5QL-PRO (RM300) + Core 2 Duo E7400 (RM380)
This is the best combination I can suggest with your budget, but if you can top-up more on the budget, I highly recommend:
ASUS P5Q SE PLUS (RM330;the most affordable P45 chipset mobo) + CORE 2 DUO E7500 (RM400; very good overclocking ability budget wise)
This combo would last you up to 3 years of satisfied PC usage, so top-up your budget @ RM700.

The are also Gigabyte mobos you should consider, especially the P43 chipsets ones, if you want something else than what I recommended above
