If the memory can handle it then its ok. Most PC3200 is nothing but high quality PC2700 to begin with.

you dont HAVE top get expensive emmory to overclock it. its just alot easier and more likely you will get a higher overclock with better quality memory chips. you can get PC2700 to PC3200 most of the time. Also they are priced almost the same right now at www.newegg.com so i would suggest getting PC3200 and taking it to PC3700. brands like kingston, corsair, crucial, OCZ, are all very good. OCZ seems to be best bang for the buck for me...and it overclocks like no other...my mobo is actually holding this stuff back.

Low price on memory doesn't always translate to a good deal. Cheaper memory often has very little headroom to overclock and it runs slower, buying it is often a gamble. The difference in price between budget and premium memory isn't worth the possibility of a loss of quality.

If it's cheap memory then your system will probably crash and fail to boot. It doesn't mean that the memory is burned it just means it can't work at those settings. If that happens you may have to remove your system battery so that you can get back into your CMOS to correct the settings.

Odds are it wont burn per-se, it just may not allow you to OC as much as you want to :)

The TBred runs at 266
Your memory is currently running at 333 (to my knowledge)
Ideally (from a paranoia/safety perspective), you should run your board at 333. Of course if you've got decent cooling go ahead and ramp it to 400 and see if it boots up :)

Hey, when you overclock your memory does it generate a lot of heat. I'm runnin pc 2100 with an AMD 2000+ 1.7 processor with 133 fsb

Well it wont generate THAT much heat unless your doing ultra memory intensive work for say 15hours straight. I'd get a heatspreader to be safe and maybe the Thermaltake Active Coolers if you're paranoid :)

The XP2600 doesnt run at 2.08Ghz. Closer to 1.9Ghz.

You're gonna OC the XP2100 to a XP2700 until you get 2.7Ghz? Not gonna happen

It a very nice OC and rarely heard, but certainly not unheard of. :)
