which is the best please ?

ie say 3.3 gig at x8 multi or x9 multiplier

(1) x8 = high fsb - but mem at 8XX CAS4

(2) x9 = lower fsb - but mem at 1100 CAS5

I'll try and do some benchmarks myself but nothing conclusive so far !

No. 2 gives higher memory bandwidth
 
Not noticeable in real life really, just in benchmarks. But If you're running an Intel I'd go with higher memory bandwidth, and for AMD tighter timings.
