I would like to find 1333mhz memory that do not reduce their timings when running at 1066mhz.
Basically I want 1066mhz with timings like 9-9-9-24.

I don't quite understand the question. Usually memory will run at better timings at DDR3-1066 than at DDR3-1333.
Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddr3) says that standard latencies for JEDEC DDR3-1333 are 7-7-7-24, while they are 7-7-7-20 for JEDEC DDR3-1066.
idk about laptops but with desktop memory it's quite common that you can get better timings if you operate it at a lower rate. -

By "reduce their timings," I suppose you mean more favorable timings. Just to be sure you understand that for example 9-9-9-20 is better than 9-9-9-24. So I understand you basically don't want to run to have those more favorable timings at DDR3-1066.
The answer is, since laptop BIOSes (in contrast to desktop BIOSes) typically don't allow you to set RAM timings, you need to do this using software. memset for example. EDIT: i just googled and it seems memset is out since it doesn't support your chipset. (assuming you have an i7) -

LOL. You have this funny quote in your sig.
But then you make this weird post. I suggest being a bit more verbose next time, stating what processor you have, that memtest didn't do the trick, etc.
Also, perhaps work on your English a bit: the OP sounds as if you want to find those new memory sticks that don't change their timings when you go from 1333 to 1066. -
For the record, English is a very complex language even for native speakers. -
@Krane: I didn't intend to troll. But Darth Bane's original post misses a lot of information. It took me two posts to understand what OP wanted. When I gave him the obvious suggestion (use memset), he told me that it wouldn't do the trick for his specific problem.
Usually, that's all fine and I wouldn't bother. But OP has this witty sig which talks about the etiquette/netiquette of helping someone. Given that sig, I consider it fair game to tell him about the etiquette/netiquette of asking for help. -

Really, i thought my first post was quite clear.
All I want is someone to point me to some memory that doesn't reduce/change/alter/insert-your-word-of-choice their timings. I didn't ask for software alternatives like memset. It's a basic question that just needs a basic answer.
If nobody knows, please let this thread die peacefully. -
