By modifying this value, you just modify Quartz frequency as you have on 
the board (Here 20 Mhz oscillator)

If you want to modify mck clock, you have to check if MCK is issued 
either from SCK,PLLA or PLLB clock (see Power Management Controller PMC 
description of at91rm92200).
If it's isuued from PLLA, then you have to adapt register value 
contained in CKGR_PPLAR register. (Divider and multiplier field) . For 
that you can use web tools from Atmel (see 
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/AT91SAM_pll.htm)

Hope it answers this part
