DRAM speed just a multiplier?

So I heard recently that the DRAM clock in the BIOS is not absolute, but is just a divider/multiplier.

My BIOS allows for DRAm clock changes in set increments only (DDR400, 433, 466, etc).

Are these number settings just multipliers, and does the memory clock simultaneously increase with a CPU clock increase??

I have a Pheonix BIOS on my Abit KN8-Sli mobo
