Changing the fsb multiplier?

I recently grabbed an ecs 848p-a mobo, 2.4ghz p4, and a 333mhz ddr stick from fry's.

So, I went into bios and saw that I could only change the cpu clock which is currently at 133. Does this mean that my memory is currently at 266? If so, how do I change the speeds without overclocking my cpu? I couldn't find the fsb multiplier option anywhere, even though my book says it can.

I did change the clock to 166, but that gave me 2.9ghz (which I didn't notice until two days later!).

Anyone else with the same mobo?
 
AFAIK the only P4's without locked multipliers are the special engineering samples hardware review sites/etc get and I haven't heard anything about unlocking normal ones. So to use that memory to it's fullest without overclocking I guess you would have to buy a 200MHz fsb p4 (called 800MHz due to quad pump) and run the memory at 4/5 divider (since you'd need ddr 400 for 1:1 without overclocking)...provided your mobo supports dividers. Not really worth it. ^^
 
It looks like it should be in the advanced chipset features, there should be a setting that says something like Memory Frequency For(why they would state it like that is beyond me). It should be listed right under the settings for the memory timings. If the setting is not there, you may have an older version of the BIOS which doesn't have the setting, and it also looks like it might be unavailable if you are using the onboard video.
