Has anyone been able to change the multi on the E4300? I decided to try and go 375*8 vs. the 333*9 that I was running so that I could get my memory closer to spec. In doing so I was having problems with getting WinXP to load and I thought that it was the mobo chipset acting up at first but it turned out that I needed to crank 1.45 vcore into the chip just to get it to finish loading WinXP. When I finally got into WinXP I loaded up CPU-Z only to see that it was still running the 9x multi even tho I had set it to 8x in the BIOS. Right now I have the BIOS set @ 333*6 and it is still being read as 333*9. I am thinking that it is something with the chip and not the motherboard tho.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

yup.... and even if I hadn't the CPU-Z window should have shown 6x considering there was no load on the CPU.
It sounds like the bios in your motherboard is causing the problem.
What kind of board are you using?
You might be able to run something like MemTest86+ which would bypass Windows to isolate what's causing the problem.
CrystalCPUID lets you adjust the multiplier on the fly on some boards from within Windows.
