Stability (presumably) shouldn't be affected by running a 333fsb capable chip at 266fsb... and in the end after increasing the multiplier to match the lower fsb while still achieving the same CPU Mhz... you're still running at the same speed you were before - just slower fsb.
I would suggest you go out and get a big beefy powersupply though... on the order of 500/550 Watts (antec trupower comes to mind). If you read the linked L5 article you'll notice that they say that the stock HSF isnt up to the task either anymore... so things to think about...
On the topic of the P4 being the end all of video editing... is it really that much better that it is faster than a dual proc machine?!?! (I doubt it personally but feel free to re-educate me). And dual p4? when did that happen? was that some unreleased via mb design or something?
While we're at it...
Are there any 64bit PCI video editing cards that are reasonably priced?
