DDR Settings

I posted earlier about a problem I had and I'm getting, hopefully, a little closer to figuring out this problem. Refer to message # 35595
Apparently the Athlon 1300 that I salvaged supports PC1600 DDR. The stick of memory I have is PC2700. What would be the correct settings to put in BIOS to force the memory to read at the speed of a PC1600?

If you've got an Athlon 1.3GHz - 1300MHz, it should rightly support PC1600 @ 100MHz for a synchronous clock between the CPU and the RAM.
If your motherboard option is SYNC or SPD, I suggest you choose SYNC so that the clock balances out, since you CPU defaults @ 100Mhz with a 13x multiplier.
