I'm currently using a S754 Shuttle that's running my PC3200 ram at 166mhz on default. Is there any way I can force running my ram at 200mhz in the bios or anything?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I used to have an ASUS K8N motherboard (ATX socket 754) that did the exact same thing. I'd set the BIOS to DDR400 but it would always set the multiplier to max 5:6 (DDR333).

The only "solution" I found was to overclock my HTT to 240 MHz, which resulted in 200 MHz memory via the 5:6 divider.

im assuming this resulted in not only faster memory speed but also faster cpu speeds hehehe
 
i changed my 1t to 2t, and this is with a overclock though on my 1.8 to 2.2ghz 9x245
using 166 divider or auto, 166 is highest im guessing which is all i needed.

i confirmed with cpu-z now running at 200.5 mhz

stable also, folding@home, bf2, cs:s, dod:s, yet to prime my system, but had system overclocked now for good 2months maybe 3. :D
