Closest data I have is from notes for an XP2500+ in sig system:
210 X 11 = 2310MHz, 1.875Vcore to stabilize CPU, 40C idle, 45C load.
215 X 10.5 = 2257MHz, 1.975Vcore to stabilize CPU, 43C idle, 50C load.
Hope this helps!

Excuse me. I didn't know we were just pretending.
In the real world, Vcore often has to be increased when the CPU is doing more work.
Memory bandwidth obviously increases when FSB/memory frequency is increased from 166MHz to 200MHz. That bandwidth increase is not 'free'. The CPU (and Northbridge) have to work harder.
