Memory question for GA-MA790XT-UD4P motherboard

Hi,
I currently have a the following setup:
- GA-MA790XT-UD4P motherboard (
http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3010
)
- AMD Phenom II X4 905e (
http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=557&f1=AMD+Phenom%E2%84%A2+II+X4&f2=&f3=&f4=512&f5=&f6=C2&f7=45nm+SOI&f8=&f9=&f10=False&f11=&f12=True
)
- 2 X2Gb Corsair DDR3 1333 RAM (TW3X4G1333C9 :
http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/TW3X4G1333C9.pdf
), in slots 1 and 2
- Running Windows Home Server PP2 (which is based on Windows Server 2003)
I'm running the latest version of the BOIS for this motherboard (F5)
The problem I have is I'm not sure if the memory is setup correctly. In the BIOS it is showing as 1333MHz yet when I run programs like CPU-Z or Gigabytes EasyTune 6 under Windows then the memory frequency shows as only 667 MHz (or there abouts, currently showing as 669.8MHz). Is this right? Should these programs be reporting it as 1333MHz?
I have all the settings in the BIOS set as auto, nothing is over or under clocked. I have "Cool and Quiet" set to on, but even if I run a program like Prime 95 the frequencies don't change (even though I see a change in the CPU speed.
Am I worrying over nothing? Any help / advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yeah you have nothing to worry about, DDR = Double Data Rate. So programs like CPU-Z always show the "true" speed which in your case is 667mhz (1333/2 = 667 or there abouts)
