Yeah, the difference between 165 and 170, even if the clock speed is identical, is pretty minimal. The benchmark I personally used to compare cpu/fsb/memory performance when I was playing around with O/Cing my comp was UT2k3, as it is very heavily dependent on those factors. The differences of performance between various FSB's was actually quite noticeable. Just make sure you use botmatches, not fly bys. I believe I ended up settling on 170X12. It was still very stable @ 12.5, but I found that sometimes Quicktime of all things would crash. Everything else, including Prime95 and 3dmark loops worked great.
I have finally decided that I can't live w/o getting a new Nforce2 mobo and seeing how far my CPU goes, so I will finally be able to confirm whether or not my A7V333 was the culprit in limiting my CPU speed to under 2.15ghz
