You can do that by setting your RAM to 100% of your CPU's bus speed.

Why would you wanna underclock your memory with your nForce2 board? But anyway, all you'd need to do is change the FSB/DRAM ratio, which I think is default to 1:1. Change it to a lower ratio, reboot, go into your BIOS again and you'll notice the Current DRAM Clock will be lower than your CPU FSB Clock. Here's some screenshots: BIOS

More importantly, are you using Crucial RAM? That stuff HATES the nForce2.
