Multiply by 3 for speed - JEDEC 2 is 1066 MHz with the frequency and the timings at that speed.
Have you been overclocking that ram!? because 535 is smoking hot - if you set it to 333MHz then you will be at 1066 effective. Holy smokes I hope that RAM can take 1600MHz hehe, cause it looks like that's where it is now.

What? 1600? LOL.

535 is right for 1066. If you set it to 333mhz you would be running your 1066 ram at 667.
Its fine.

oh yeah - my bad - sry, 533 was the right setting - got mixed up with DDR3 (which is 4 times the base speed?)

when your reading ram what tab do we look at? Memory(makes more sense) or SPD?
