FSB should be 166 default. The AGP can be changed to 8x in the BIOS. Doubt
you'll notice an increase in performance tho.

The front side bus is 166, the 333 is for your memory because its DDR memory
which is double you fsb (166x2 = 333). So that seems to be right.
In your Bios there is a setting for AGP 4X, 8X or Auto. Maybe it is set at 4X
instead of 8X. It really doesn't make that much difference anyway performance
wise. With my 8X video card for some reason it actually does better in
benchmarks when I have it set at 4X so I leave it at 4X.
