Oh, and as far as 200FSB being a feat, there is no guarantee that any hardware combination out there will get it for you. What I'm finding in research (since I am shooting for a similar target here soon), is that five people can get the exact same uber-hardware, and only two or three of them can get to 200-215. One will be capped around 166, and the others float between 180-190. There is no such thing as guaranteed DDR400 out there, really (the XMS is the closest thing to it, granted), and no board can GUARANTEE 200FSB. That is the real b!tch of it. For instance, I just built a system for a coworker of mine. Mine is watercooled and completely VModded. Hers is identical, but aircooled. With identical parts installed, mine cannot reach the 1/5 divider at 153FSB (it caps at around 146: 1.95V/2.9V/44C). I've got hers running at 172 right now with no VMods (1.825V/2.6V/55C). There is no reason that hers should go higher, but it does. Go figure, eh? I'm dropping some XMS3200 in my machine later this month, and I'm only hoping to get near 200FSB, but from the less than stellar overclocking I've had so far, I don't know if it's going to happen (I may just have to do the second unlock on my XP and run the multi up to 17 or something instead and keep my FSB stock to get my virtual wang size/Mhz number up).
