Ok here is what i've come up with after about a month of testing

Best setting

cpu 12 x 190
vcore 1.875
ram 5 2 2 2.0
vddm 2.77
agp bus 69


I can run up to 196 fsb stable but in order to keep my system stable I have to get the vcore above 1.9 which I really dont like. Do you think that in order for me to run 200 fsb I would need better ram. ( I'am thinking on the vdd mod and nb active cooling is on the way.)
 
For the the fastest memory timings/settings at 200mhz you need damn good memory. I suspect you'll want to get some PC3200 or better cas2 Corsair for that job ;).

Your other option, which you eluded to, is to over-volt the heck out of your current memory. Of course, there's some risk involved and running more voltage doesn't guarantee stability in all cases (everything has its limit).

Well I guess when I decide to do the vdd mod I'll be getting some twinmos ram or kingston hyper x 3500.

I haven't looked but when I get my icebrug for my nb I'll know I do know that my bs ends in A3 but nb and sb can be different.
