Can i run a DDR400(to be exact Kingston Kvr400x64c3a/256) with tighter timings on a 333mhz fsb barton(to be exact Athlon XP 2800+ AXDA2800DKV4D)?
Which timing do you recommend?
2-2-2-5?
I don't know, but I'm running DDR-400 on my Athlon XP "Barton" build running a 166MHz FSB (DDR makes it 333 effective memory clock). I'd have to hook the whole thing up and run CPU-z to give you the timings it's running. I never had to set any timings in BIOS. It just worked.
RAMs often have more timing profiles in SPD, perhaps yours have them for 333 too. If not, you can always calculate data-for-400/400×333, rounded safely upwards. Or down, if you're willing to risk a little overclocking. From what I've seen, CL3/400 modules are usually 2.5-3-3-3-7 at 333 btw.
Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts

Well i have some spares so if i broke one of them its not a big deal.
I have succeded in runing at 2-3-3-3-7, and it gave me a little bit performance on PCMark02, seems to be stable.
Well i guess silicon lottery apply to ram too right?
