Motherboard Jumper settings don't have fastest speeds to match cpu, what can I do?

I am testing out my new motherboard and PIII cpu rated at 667 mhz (133X5), but the motherboard jumpers only go up to 112mhz so I only get 559 it says or 560 mathematically. Am I stuck like this? Or can I adjust the multiplier a little to make up for it without risking it becoming unstable? I have never worked with jumpers before or multipliers, so all advice would be helpful. Any advice on how to overclock it professionally (say if the fsb were actually 100 or less) how would I know which to switch when (fsb vs. multiplier)? I can't just up one setting anymore, is it just trial and error with the fsb, then up the multiplier and do it again, and again until I figure out which 2 settings produce the highest output? Anyway, my main concern is getting back my well diserved megahertz!

...I'm starting to like jumpers...no really I am, atleast when I ignore the 112 limit.
