200fsb tbird able to reach 332fsb?

[JML]

....or is a 266fsb tbird necessary to reach it? And what is the best tbird 1400 (200fsb or 266fsb)?

Some will be able to reach it. It depends more on your motherboard and ram on how high of a fsb you will be able to reach. You can always drop the multiplier.

Say if your running a 1gig 200 fsb you have 10 by 100. If you just raised the fsb to 166 you would be trying to get a 660 MHz overclock, which is not very likely.

Now if you drop your multiplier to 8.5 and then pump your fsb up to 166 your only pushing the chip to 1411 still pretty high but a lot more achievable than 1660.

As long as you have a very good jumperless mobo and very very good ram it shouldn't be a problem and you will also need to get some good cooling on your northbridge. You will have much better luck if your motherboard has a 1/5 pci divisor. Like I said getting your chip to run at that high of a fsb is really about the mobo and ram.

Good luck

it will also depend on the other hardware u have installed. Since your increasing the fsb, it increases the throughput on your entire bus. So some devices (ie. ethernet, vid card, sndcard, etc) may not be able to handle the increased bus speed. Therefore the device could be the bottleneck of your system too.

But usually i think u can run a 1400 at 266 with no problem. :D

This is true but if you get a board with a 1/5 divider it will put your bus speeds back into spec when the fsb hits 166 or 167 depends on the board.
