Hi:
The reason the memory only runs at 533 MHz is because that is the fastest speed your notebook's AMD Dual-Core E1-1500 APU can run the memory at.
See chapter 1 of the service manual...
DDR3/1066-MHz (DDR3/1600-MHz downgraded to DDR3/1066-MHz
You take your report, and multiply the speed you see by 2.
2 x 533 MHz = 1066 MHz.
