Your CPU is a 333 MHz type Athlon, meaning it should runs at an FSB frequency of 166 MHz (= 333 MHz DDR) so you shouldn't change the FSB to 200 MHz. To be precise, your CPU should run at 12.5x166.66 = 2083.33 MHz. Because your system is only 6 months old, you'll have an Athlon that has a locked multiplier, meaning you can't change the FSB to 200 MHz and run the CPU at 11x200=2200 MHz.
Indeed, forgot the 3000+ were only 333, I was thinking of the 3200+

Great link Tormentius! Good info.

Thanks!

You too Scarface...although you did get me all excited thinking that I had the option of setting my processor to 400MHz. Darn it! LOL.
Uh, well....good luck with that. :shrug:

btw, set your agp aperature to it's highest setting. thats the amount of ram your system can set aside for extra graphics memory if needed.
