800MHz showing 797MHz

this question might look outdated but anyway here it goes. i bought a PIII system which had an Intel Pentium 800MHz EB processor. the problem is that the system properties in windows shows it as 797MHz. both win98 and XP show the same figure so windows is not lying. so what is the problem. my system works fine but i want to know why is it showing 797MHz. is it a fault in the processor. plz expalin in simple terms because the internals of a processor are an unexplored territory for me (currently im studying BJTs, FETs and that sort of things at university)

im sure the bus is 133MHz because thats what the EB stands for. it means that the processor will work synchronously at 133HMz bus speed. so that means that the multiplier might be 6. but im not sure about the multiplier. the system information in windows says that my processor is a x86 family 6 model 8 stepping 10 GenuineIntel ~ 797MHz. so the figure 6 reffering to the family might be the multiplier. that solves the problem. thankyou kevbo.
I wonder what the model and stepping refer to???

The bus speed is supposed to be 133.33333...MHz, but since they don't use a 33.3333...MHz clock crystal on the motherboard, it doesn't come out exactly right. Send me the board and buy a new one.
