Depends on if this is a newer 2.4B or not. The later ones overclock quite well, often well over 3 gig. Even the older crappiest most stubborn ones usually will do at least 2.7 gig.
Let's just pretend the CPU is capable of doing 3 gig. That's 166 FSB. Using the 1:1 memory ratio results in DDR333. Oddly, that's exactly what PC2700 RAM is rated at.

Crazy. You want to ponder something crazier? I got my Crucial DDR PC2700 33Mhz to PC3200 400Mhz. Latency timings were kinda high but I think I can get it more stable if I increase voltage and add some ramsinks. Thanks for the responses. Keep them comming!

going from pc2100-pc2700 is easy ****. doing 400mhz on pc2100... that's fun. did it, harddrive couldn't handle the heat.
