Any thoughts on why the frequencies wheren't available? There was only 5 options and none of them seemed very logical.

Hi there.
Post some pics of your bios, & we can likely help.
Keep in mind that RAM runs in ratios which calculate speeds based on the FSB.
Easiest ratio to run is 1:1, or what may be worded as 266 or 533.
IOW, the RAM runs the same speed as the FSB.
So if you were to bump the FSB to 333 (9x333 = 2997 MHz), you'd have the RAM running @ DDR2-667.
Obviously you have RAM capable of running alot higher that is basically designed for the informed overclocker, but no knowledge of how to set it up properly.
But for now, it's easier to just set it to something nice & easy, & worry about clocking it closer to its rated speeds later, once CPU has been increased.
