Yep, you did well 
. You should be able to hit way over 200fsb once you cool your CPU better. What he means by divider is what ratio you're running the memory at, like 5:4, 1:1, etc... more used on P4's than AMD's, so you can run either the CPU or RAM's FSB high while keeping the other low.

You can also try lowering the FSB 1-3mhz. That typically will get rid of small errors like you mentioned.

What system is this in? AMD lanparty or INTEL lanparty?
You said that you're running 3.3volts to the ram, and you're *only* at 200fsb? Dude, if it's BH-5, you don't need anywhere near that kind of voltage for that speed, you're just unnecessarily risking damage to it. BH-5 can do 200mhz @ 2-2-2, at like 2.6v. You'll only need to push it to 3.3volts if you're going to like 250mhz, 2-2-2.
