K7S5A Pro Bus/Memory Issues

I have a K7S5A Pro Mainboard and have been having problems with the
FSB/Memory settings in the most recent version of the CheepoBIOS. I
have one stick of PNY Optima DDR400 CL2 in my system and when I select
133/166 for FSB/DRAM My system won't POST, forcing me to clear the
CMOS (holding down page-up during boot won't reset the CMOS in this
case). Does anyone know what I could do to make this board run my RAM
at 166? I do a bit of gaming and want to get the most out of my
current system so I can wait as long as possible (hopefully June) to
build an Athlon 64 system.
My system specs. are as follows:
K7S5A Pro (rev. 5)
Athlon XP 1900+ @ 2000+ (138FSB)
512MB PNY Optima DDR400 RAM
ATI Radeon 9000 Series 64MB DDR
80GB Seagate U-ATA 100 HDD (on onboard IDE controller)
SoundBlaster PCI128 (Digital OEM version)
Thanks in advance,

The 166 setting may be in the bios, but does not work,
for the normal bios, 133/133 is the best it will do.
I'm running the latest honey bios and using 166 memory.
so I can do 137/137, 143/143, or 147/147
(147/147 will crash my games after about 5 minutes)
