Overclocking one ram stick and not the other?

I got a friend that has a DDR400 and DDR333 stick, he wants to overclock the DDR333 to run at DDR400 speeds. However wouldn't raising the FSB to do that also raise the DDR400 to like DDR466 or something? How would he raise the one stick and not the other?
 
If you manually set your front side bus at 200 (x2) = 400Mhz in the bios, then the DDR333 will be forced to run @ 400 Mhz with the DDR400. The FSB has final say how fast your ram runs.

If you PC don't boot up, odds are the DDR333 can't run at 400 spec.
 
The DDR 400 stick is running at the same speed asthe DDR333 already. All RAM modules operate at the same frequencies as all others in the system and will all run at the speed of the slowest module which would be the one at DDR 333. So if he OC's the DDR 333 stick it will not cause the DDR 400 to OC even more it will run at the same speed as what ever the FSB is set to. Either way there is no guarentee that the DDR333 stick will run at DDR400. He most likely will need to put some more volage into it.
