Am I blind, or is there no divider for the memory? I've seen other BIOS where there's a divider right smack-dab in plain sight, but I can't manage to find anything for my board.

I want to run my memory (Crucial Ballistx DDR400) much faster than it is, but my CPU (P4 2.8, 800FSB) konks out at 3GHz.

I forget exactly what the FSB is currently at. I'll check it out if anyone wants to know. I just really want to know where the heck the divider is, or out to get my memory to run faster. I know it can!

Hmmm, not what I was hoping for, but perhaps it will still work the same.

Here's my situation:
I bumped the clock from 200 to 215 (although everything reports it as 217, odd). The memory is at 434 (although it should be at 430, whatever). The CPU doesn't want to go any further than where it is. I can get it into Windows @ 220MHz, but it isn't stable. (Yes I've boosted voltage and whatnot, but even at 215 on 1.550 volts, temps are in high 30's to mid/high 40's on load)
I simply want to get the memory closer to ~475MHz. I know it can go at least that high with tight timings--that's why I bought this particular memory in the first place. I always figured I'd have to use a divider to do it though, I just don't know how.

PS: Would running async not be worth trying to boost the RAM? Or will I not know until I try?
