Will pc2700 limit me to oc'ing FSB to 166Mhz?

[burrens]

I have an athlon xp2100 thoroubred B, 512mb(256x2) crucial pc2700, and an epox 8dra+ MB. I want to start overclocking this setup, but my question is; Am I limited to to pushing the FSB to 166 since my RAM is only pc2700, or can I push it to a higher FSB using this same memory configuration?

thanks.

No, it will not limmit you to just 166MHz, i'm sure the ram will do upto 175-180MHz @2.5-3-3-7 and 2.77volts

athlons run better when running at the same fsb as the memory anyway, why push it out of spec?

My old kingmax pc2700 did 410mhz at 2.7v and lowest cas settings I could set...quality dimms will give you saome headroom...

Well is the 2100XP CPU that you have limited to it's speed?...It's called OCing the RAM just as you want to do the CPU so YMMV !
