How to change FSB to 133MHz

I have just upgraded my cpu to a Athlon XP 2400+ 2.0GB. I know I need to change my jumper setting on my mobo for this Athlon XP. My problem is that there are no jumpers. My mobo manual says that it will support 200/266MHz, but I can't change it in the Bios or on the board itself. Right now it only reads it as a 1800+ 1.5GB. Any suggestions? Mobo is a PCChips M810LR Socket A.
Why don't you try emailing the company that made the board they'll know better than anyone else.

Thanks for your reply. I have emailed them and have not received a reply. I have also called tech support and it's automated. I have left several messages and noone has called me back.

its in the bios but you may have to dig around. I think its under Frequency/Voltage Control. The mobo itself has no fsb jumper, as you say.

Thanks robdos. The only setting I can change in the Bios is the DRAM from 100 to 133. It doesn't give you the option to change the CPU frequency in the Bios it is defaulted @ 100 and there are no physical jumpers on the mobo itself.
