I've heard people telling me to change my cpu (xp3000 333fsb) fsb from 333 to 400 myself. First off is that possible and would it be any stable, Because i dont have the best overclocking heatsink.
 
Yes it is possible and it is called overclocking. We cant tell you whether or not it will be stable as everything OCs differently. Most likely you will reach it without a problem.

I'm not as confident as Kevin that you will be able to reach FSB of 200. The 3000+ likely has a multi of 12 or 12.5. If you raise the FSB 166 -> 200 this would mean your cpu would be running at 2400mhz (12 x 200) or 2500mhz (12.5 x 200). Seems some of the older Bartons could do that, but not as sure of a thing with the newer ones since the best silicon is now used in the mobiles.

If your multi was unlocked and you could adjust it down to 11, I'd say you'd have a better chance.

Just for comparison, I've got a mobile XP 2600+ that is having a hard time running at 12x208 even with 1.85v (+0.4v over the stock voltage of 1.45v). Considering the 3000+ has a stock voltage of 1.65v (I think), you don't have as much headroom as the mobile chips.

Either way, it shouldn't hurt anything to try. With the locked multiplier, you could likely push the FSB a good ways, but that chip just may not be able to handle 200 FSB.
