This is hapening because your motherboard see the memory at that frequency ,because 1066Mhz is standard of your motherboard. You can reach the 1333Mhz and 1600Mhz just from bios.And this is hapenning if you have energy saving ...on. The motherboard downgrade the frequency of your ram to save energy.
