I can't answer the question exactly, because it will vary for every application.
 You can probably find some benchmarks where the only difference is the FSB
speed and try to extrapolate from those.

I would say that if the one with slower FSB has more features you want, and the
price is comparable, then buy the one with more features.  You'll probably be
happier with that than to have at most a few extra percent of performance.
