Depends on the CPU and motherboard you are using.
Today, the only cpu's that allow you to increase the cpu's multiplier are AMD= FX series, and Intel's Extreme Edition cpu's.
Basically all other mainstream cpu's only allow you to lower the cpu's multiplier, hence you will need to raise the FSB to overclock.
So if you have a mainstream cpu , you have no choice but to raise the FSB.
IF you have an unlocked cpu, then probably you will have to play with both settings : multiplier & FSB to get the best overclock.

Must be higher FSB and multiplier could be low. 'coz FSB works as a highway for data transfer so it must be broad and fast. CPU multiplier could be handy in the case where u want Overclock the cpu in future (which i not recommend if ur cpu is'nt supporting it) otherwize multiplier is useless. Actually its a head to head composition because the logic is "A Cpu performs X processing cycles in a single cycle of FSB" where X is multiplier. As the FSB goes forward the cpu cycle comes to downward, because due to large FSB cpu's cycle goes lower and more lower.
So i suggest u to take Higher FSB with highest multiplier with DDR2 memory and Fast cpu because it cut down cpu stress somewhile.

Higher FSB. That way, your whole system runs faster, including your RAM, Northbridge, etc. The general rule is to go as far as you can with the FSB and THEN start to push the multiplier.

If you don't do any overclocking and just use the default settings, the clock rate (FSBxMultiplier) is most important. Generally you want the highest you can get, but clock rate is not a universal indicator of speed. For example, AMD processors have lower clock rates then their Intel counterparts, but run at comparatively the same "speed". That is why AMD chips are sometimes advertised as 3000+ when the actual clock rate is 2000Mhz.

Higher FSB is better.

well it cant be that way it must be the oppisite, CPU controls the information being processed and manipulated (mostyl software wise) fsb controls how your RAM, Video card, motherboard, CPU and your HDD connect to each other and read and resond to each other.

The opposite.
