Overclockin P4 with PC2100 Ram

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have PC2100 Ram and I was wondering if i could overclock my 1.8A. I wanted to know if i can and to how high a clock speed? If not, then I'd like to know if it would be a overheating problem or something else? Thank You
 
With pc2100 ram can run at 266mhz, so you could go to a 133fsb without overclocking the ram. That would put your 1.8a at just under 2.4Ghz. 1.8a's tend to be good overclockers, like the 1.6a. I have 2 1.6a's running at 2.1ghz(133fsb) and they are no warmer than at stock speed, and are using the intel heat sink and fan.
 
I got my 1.8 upto 2.0 with no voltage change and no memory chnages, but I had PC 3200 for RAM. but the 1.8 should go up to 2, didnt get it any higher though.
 
When I had a 1.6A I had a stick of 256mb Crucial PC2100.

It would run 100% stable at good temps @ 2400mhz (150fsb)
If I left the cpu at 133fsb (2133mhz) The ram would run fine at 166mhz
The highest I could get both was 153fsb (2448mhz)

Asus p4s333 motherboard and stock intel hs/fan. the cas timing was 2.5 relaxed. If I ran the ram at cas2 or agressive, It wouldn't run past 133mhz.
