Anthony - i believe Kevin does already have the Asus Nforce2 board, but you must lock the PCI/AGP bus via BIOS (locking the AGP automatically locks the PCI on mine)
Not sure exactly what speed your memory is running at, try downloading some free software to measure the speed.
Also, how much do you want to overclock? I know Coraisr is good, but dont know how far 333Mhz ram will o/c - upping the memory voltage in BIOS would help.
Your cpu can POTENTIALLY o/c to 400Mhz FSB (or my xp1700 tbed A could anyway). However, to do this i had to raise cpu voltage 1 notch and severely drop the multiplier. i dropped enough so that FSB*multiplier was roughly the same as its normal total speed. Once you've got that try lowering the FSB by a fair amount and upping the multipler 1 notch (eg - so that total speed is 50 or so Mhz more than before) then keep upping the FSB gradually, and keep repeating till you find the sweet spot (which is different for all cpu's)

Yep my mistake you already have the nforce 2 chipset. Do what my friend above says and make absulutely sure your PCI/AGP bus is locked in the bios and its not following your fsb when you overclock.
Other than this, I've looked at the spec of the board - it doesn't support cpu's above 333mhz fsb. I don't know if a bios update has added to this, but boards that don't support the 400mhz fsb often don't like fsb speeds above 170 no matter what cpu or memory you have, or what your voltages are, even if you can actually clock the fsb to well over 200 in the bios. My previous board could clock the fsb to 250 in the bios, but by default it would only recognise up to a 3000XP (333), or be overclocked to about 175 (350) by way of the bios even with voltages upped etc.
I'd have a search online to see what others with your board have managed to do.

The board is fine with 200fsb.
Your cpu may not be up to it. Can you drop the multi or is it locked?

YEAH!!
got my antec slk3700bqe and i LOVE IT!!!
with the new psu i can up the fsb to 140 (280) not had time to see how high it can go though,
i can change the multi's as well

As long as its not a Palamino core cpu then you have a decent chance of 200Mhz FSB

I doubt you'll get more than 100-200Mhz o/c out of that cpu. Palamino's were renowned for their lack of this.
I think Sandra is probably right, but if you want to be absolutely sure then note the serial number on the chip (eg AXDA......)
that should give a definite answer when checked against core type
