Gskill DDR2-1200 PC2-9600 memory reads as PC2-6400 (400 MHz) by CPU-Z

[JohnRoss]

Purchased GSkill F2-9600CL5D-4GBTD DDR2-1200 PC2-9600 installed on Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L with Intel Q9650 CPU. In checking to see if the memory is what I expected - CPU-Z under the SPD tab reads max bandwidth = PC2-6400 (400 MHz) and shows frequency under JEDEC #1 of 255 MHz, JEDEC#2 of 400 MHz, and EPP#1 of 533MHz. Voltage is 1.8

Under the Memory tab DRAM Frequency is 533.3 MHz and DDR2, 4096 MBytes (I understand I multiply 533.3 by 2 to get current memory of 1066 - is that right, how do I get 1200?

Why doesn't CPU-Z show the PC2-9600 and the higher frequency?

All help is much appreciated.
