    Okay people I think it's just about confirmed that all of these things are coming with 1333 Mhz RAM. I looked into mine and it's 1333 and the same has been said by a lot of people on these boards.

    I'm guessing MSI lists it as 1066Mhz because the highest i5s support is 1066Mhz so they don't want to mislead people. So just to everyone who's upgrading to an i7... MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PAY $100 TO UPGRADE TO 4 GB 1333MHZ RAM!!!

    What does is say for DRAM frequency?
    You'll probably see it as 1066Mhz (divided by 2) since your processor doesn't support 1333 Mhz so it'll downclock it to 1066

    CPU-Z displays memory as 667 MHz or so. Because it's DDR (Dual data rate) actual frequency is 667x2=1333. THis is how you identify it in CPU-Z

    In CPU-Z, you just go to the SPD tab. For mine it is PC-10700 (667MHz) = DDR3-1333 just as Molius said.
