T410 - CPU-Z reports 533MHz RAM?

Just received my replacement T410 and all is well so far. HOWEVER, CPU-Z is reporting that the machine has 4GB of "Elpida" DDR3 RAM @ 533 MHz. The FSB on the machine is 1066 MHz. Did Lenovo cheap out here with cheap RAM, or is CPU-Z reporting an incorrect value? Any other way I can tell?

EDIT: Yeah, 533 MHz = PC8300 RAM, which is what the machine was supposed to come with.
EDIT: Yeah, no, 533 MHz isn't PC8300: that's PC4200. Question above still stands.

The speed is 1066Mhz. CPU-Z is wrong.

CPU-Z is correct. It reports the speed of the ram before it is "doubled" per DDR technology.
533 mhz x 2 = 1066 mhz

Yeah I forgot about DDR. You are correct, and so is CPU-Z.
