I think we all read your first post, and I'm asking you to read the first paragraph of mine, or read it again if you have already. No two CPU's will do the same overclock, even if they are cut from the same wafer, have the same stepping, et cetera and so on. I have read instances where the people trying to overclock the AIUHB stepping processors had to increase the core voltage to get them to run stably. Yes, you have a better chance of achieving the clock speed you want to run, but it is in no way guaranteed to follow the same guidelines.
If AMD made chips that were capable of reliably running at a higher clockspeed than they are rated for, and do so at stock voltages, then why would they not label them as a 2700+ and not a 2100+? They could hawk the chip for a reasonable amount more if they marked them as 2700+'s, and they are in the business to make money, not friends. You said it yourself:

most people with these cpus have just upped the FSB to 166 and got the ie 2100 XP running at 2700 XP speeds

Try, just try, increasing the voltage a notch or two. See what happens.
