Overclocking confusion with 3000+

I hope this is the right place to post this. I have a Winchester 3000+ 939 socket that is at 1.8 stock on a MSI Neo2 Plat with 1gb Mushkin dual channel RAM.

The way I overclocked is I lowered the HTT mulitplyer to 3x. I turned off dynamic overclocking, set my AGP frequency to 67mhz, locked my RAM to 166mhz, set the RAM timing to 1T, and set the FSB to 250. I am now running perfectly stable at 2250mhz with 33 degrees idle on stock cooling.

My confusion comes in the BIOS. Under the RAM settings it shows its running at 333mhz. Shouldn't it be around 400mhz? How do I make everything run "sync" with each other?
 
ok, I think your quesiton is a little unclear, but i think i got it.

You put your CPU at 250 and cut your ram with the 133 divider...so now its running somewhere between about 200-210 MHz right?

So i think you are asking how to make your memory also go 250 MHz? (its not really running at 333 MHz, and you are not really going to get it to be 400 MHz...)

If you set your memory divider to 1:1 AKA 200 or 400 instead of 133 or 333 in bios, it will be the same speed clock for clock as the CPU, 250 MHz.

not all MSI bios's calculate ram speed , 333 is just refering to the 166 divider your using DDR - 166mhz x 2channels = 333mhz.

Hell even alot of the ones that do try and calculate ram speed are usually off a little
