I had the exact same problems...sorta. I managed to hit 200mhz fsb with my pc2700 ram, but then when I got greedy and went for 210mhz fsb I corrupted the bios :/
I don't know if it was the chip or the board tho. I had to RMA the board unfortunately...it refused to post, even after clearing the cmos and removing everything but the cpu and videocard. The new board I got is happily running at 12.5x166 with my 1700+ chip.
