The 400 is the worst oc'r, a 333 is better. At 6x83 you're
runnin at 498, but your bus speeds are all but unusable, specially
for SCSI. You're right, that core won't do 6x100, ~550 is tops.
6x75 isn't much better. You're only option is to not overclock, or
get an IDE HDD (preferably IBM). The agp V3 might handle 83 mhz,
will prob'ly handle 75.
