Confused by the memory speed options in the BIOS

I have a Gigabyte DS3L and a C2D E6550 and 4GB of DDR2.
In the BIOS the memory speed options are AUTO, 2.00, 2.10...4.0+.

I'm used to seeing some type of a divider so I can raise my FSB and then lower the divider of the RAM if I need to. In this case it allows me to add a multiplier and not reduce it.

Is this how all motherboards work now?
