Simple question here. I plan on getting a shuttle an35n along with a mobile barton 2400+. I already have 512MB of decent PC2700 ram. Using the asynchronous fsb settings, can I hit 200Mhz cpu fsb and still run my ram at 333Mhz? Quickly looking at the online MB manual, it appears I would set my fsb at 200Mhz and then set my memory frequency at 83% to get this to work. Am I on the right track here?

I recommend against those settings. You have a mobile so use the multis and run synch 333DDR or better yet, synch at whatever max speed your 2700 will run. 333 ram 400fsb will be slower than 333 synch because of the latency penalty nF2 suffers running asynch. You'd have to have a substantially higher asynch ratio to overcome it from benchies I've run and seen elsewhere.
