Memory is connected to HT ref. clock (but not to overall CPU clock anymore), you have 200,266,333,400 and 533MHz... memclk modes.
Memory clock goes up when you adjust HT ref. clock (e.g. if you boot at 200 ref. clock / 400MHz memclk and then increase the ref clock to 205MHz your memclk will be 410MHz (DDR2-820)
since the memclk is driven by the ht ref.clock we dont get wierd memclks with certain multipliers (e.g. 375MHz with x15 in case of K8)
memory speed readings w/ CPU-Z (at least ver 1.41) were probably incorrect (as it assumed memclk is still done the K8-way)
