Ive got a 266mhz board (jetway), just wondering will a XP2600+ 333fsb processor work in the board but @ 266mhz or will it fail to boot. I cannot find any 266sb versions of the processor to rare.

Depends on the board. Some boards will allow for multiplier modification on that processor without having to make any physical modifications, some do not...
Jetway? I dount it's a very overclocking-friendly board (which are the features you'll need because for all intensive purposes that's what you're doing -- running the motherboard past specifications). Even just raising the bus speed could create problems depending on the board's chipset. Most people used the barton as an excuse for a decent upgrade to Nforce2 or a KT400 motherboard.

Multiplier x Bus speed = CPU clock speed
