Cheese - when overclocking your pushing the FSB anyway, if they're OCing a barton 2400M people usually pump their FSB to 200mhz (400mhz equivilent) and set their multiplier to 12.0 -12.5 then step up their FSB in increments of 1-3, testing for hours on end each time to find the absolute max OC. So in short, the CPU can handle the 400mhz FSB like 99% of the time, so there is no difference at all.

The most important factor in raising your FSB is actually not your proc at all, with this processor, your RAM is a far more limiting factor then the internal processor. If it was me I would be buying some Corsair XMS 3500 and pumping the FSB to 200-225 and have the multiplyer at 12.0 and if it could handle it 12.5. Either or would give you a processor that would beat a 3200+ so its all good.
