2100+ tbred Overclock capabilities

I just recently purchased a 2100 tbred and am running an epox 8RDA+ mb. I was just wondering how high you can overclock these things and will still be safe and stable. For cooling I have an SLK-800 hs and a pretty good fan that blows 40 CFM. What multipliers, FSB, and voltage would give me optimum results and the best performance?
 
If it's a "High-End" thoroughbred-B, I would expect 2.2GHz+. Only one way to find out.😉 If ya got good memory, 400MHz DDR FSB, 400 MHz DDR memory speed and 11.0 CPU multiplier (11x200=2.2GHz) would be a great achievment. Not sure how much voltage that would require though.

Make the memory timings as agressive as possible.
 
What does 2.2 GHz translate to in terms of a PR rating? Also, When one O/C's the FSB, do the MB multipliers decrease the memory speed too or just the Vid, Sound, and peripherals?
 
2.2GHz is around the 2600+ level
the multipliers do not affect the RAM speed
PCI lock is the one that sets the AGP/PCI speed to 66mhz/33mhz
you don't want to change that as it might cause instability if you push it above spec.
 
How high is an unsafe voltage (considering you have a 30 dollar hs/fan, and good hardware)? I probably won't keep my tbred b for much longer than 2 years, so if more voltage decreases the life, I won't care too much.
I see guys on newegg that use voltages of 2.1V+, and I think I even saw one that used 2.25V. They are posted on the reviews section of the 2100+ tbred b. I don't know if they are full of bs, or they actually do use that voltage, but that's what I saw. Tbred B's use 1.60V as a default, right?

It depends on the FSB. Assuming the memory is running in sync with the FSB, an 2.2GHz Athlon XP with a 400MHz DDR FSB is as-fast/faster than a XP 2800+ (333MHz DDR FSB) because FSB is more important than pure clock speed.

For example, according to the XP rating sytem,

XP 2600+ (266MHz DDR FSB), (16 x 133MHz = 2.128GHz) = XP 2600+ (333MHz DDR FSB), (12.5 x 166MHz = 2.075Ghz)
