Just so you might feel better in the future...

The 66MHz frequency is really 66.67, or even better 66.66666...MHz in
the spec, i.e. BCLK *period* (not freq) minimum is 15ns, so x3 is not
198MHz but exactly 200MHz.  Whether your motherboard really uses
66.67MHz BCLK is entirely another matter, though.
