How many dimms per memory channel do you have?

My understanding (which may be a few months old) is that if you have more than one dimm per memory channel, DDR3-1333 dimms will run at 1066 speed;
i.e. on your 1-CPU system, if you have 6 dimms, you have 2 per memory channel.

Your results look excellent, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are running at 1333.
