Run CPU-Z 1.62 and open up the motherboard tab. It will show the chipset your motherboard is using. I don't think it supports a 200 MHz FSB. If the chipset does support that bus speed, you might have to do something like a pin mod to change the bus speed.

This gets a little bit beyond a simple CPU swap.
