Yeah you should still be able to oc fine it's just your RAM will have to be lowered to 4200 ish to get a decent oc out of it .

Yea, you have DDR2-667. After taking DDR into account it will run fine at 1:1 with the FSB at 333 MHz.

Keep in mind if you go over a 333 MHz FSB you will be OCing the RAM. There is no way to run the Memory slower than the FSB.

e6400: 266*8=2.13Ghz
if you run the memory to 1:1 ratio, you will get 333*8=2.66GHZ.
that is 25% overclock.
