The new 5680 BIOS (1.00.07T3) clocks the memory at 133 MHz?

Using 3DMark03, it says that my RAM is clocked at 133.0 MHz. Can anyone confirm that other BIOS versions show the memory being clocked at 200.0 MHz? Does this mean that BIOS 1.00.07T3 is effectively giving me a 533MHz FSB instead of 800MHz FSB?

SiSoft Sandra reports my memory bus speed as still 200MHz with that BIOS, and my FSB at 800MHz.

Don't trust SiSoft Sandra with the actual clock speeds. It says that my video card is clocked at 350 MHz, but it is actually at 344.3 MHz. 3DMark03 gives a real assessment of clock speeds.

I used the bios update as well.
I used cpu-z from cpuid, and Pc wizard, and they both said that my fsb was 800
200x4

Yeah, I downloaded and used CPU-Z. It confirmed the RAM speeds at 4x200 MHz for 800 MHz FSB, so I'm guessing that 3DMark03 is just wrong this time. Still, I'd like for anyone not using BIOS 1.00.07 T3 to chime in and report what memory speeds 3DMark03 is showing.
