    Is it normal for my RAM to show as 533mhz on CPUZ if I bought 1066MHz from XoticPC?
    I have 2x2GB slots in dual channel

    DDR stands for "double data rate", meaning that it transmits info on both the rising and falling edges of the clock pulse, therefore 533MHz clock = 1066MHz data rate :)
