The multiplier for this CPU is set at 11.5 so your FSB is probably set for 100MHz.

On page 14 of your manual are instructions for setting your MOBO dipswitches.
Set the “CK_RATIO” switch to “11.5x” or to “AUTO”. Set the “CLK_SW” to “133.3”. You should also set the “CPU HOST CLOCK” to 133.3MHz in CMOS as shown on page 49.

Your CPU speed is supposed to run at 1533 MHz. 11.5 * 133
