Ok Im just wondering, how much FSB would be too much for a PC2100 in one system and a PC2700 in another

PC2100 = 133MHz
PC2700 = 166MHz

so how much more FSB could i go with each of the sticks?
is it possible to bring the PC2700 up to 200MHz or too high for PC2700?

Push it untill it cries.

Every stick of RAM is different. I have PC2100 that will do 190ish FSB, I have seen some PC2100 well over 200mhz. So, its hard to say, X ram with go X fast.

if you dont give to much vdimm-and bump it step by step(lets say in 2-3 mhz increases) nothing will happen-only the mem will start to error

If you put it too tight you'll have to reset the CMOS most likely, when my ram is too far or too tight I won't be able to boot at all. Just reset it and try again, it won't damage anything. Read the stickies to learn about overclocking.
