I have a odd problem... I can not use 5 times Cpu Core Bus Frequency Multiple. What I mean is this

66FSB * 4.5 CPU = 300mhz

but I can't use 66FSB * 5 CPU = 333mhz

It seems the jumper doesn't work or is busted somehow ...if I put it to 5, it says my computer is running at 166mhz...which it shouldn't... it should be 333mhz. And I know it is not due to overclocking it to high because I have mine set to 75FSB * 4.5CPU = 337mhz. So maybe someone can give me some insight on what might be the problem. I tried 83 * 4.5CPU but my computer won't load up, but I know that is due to PCI bus speed being over 37.5mhz. Because I would really like to try and get 75FSB * 5 = 375mhz.

Very simple...you can NOT change the multiplier on a P2. Your's is locked at 4.5x. Just raise the FSB to 75MHz & be done with it
