Intel iMac DDRII 533 vs. 667

[PiTT]

I read the review of the new iMac on barefeats.com and I'm confused about this:

Good news. You have two user serviceable memory slots instead of one as in the previous model of iMac. That makes it affordable to attain the maximum advertised 2GB of capacity. The memory modules are SODIMMs which are usually found in laptops. We accidentally installed 533Mhz modules instead of 667MHz modules specified. To our surprise, we got the same results when we reran our tests with 667Mhz modules. Hmm.

So there's no differences between 667 and 533.. why?

I read that aswell. I was n't quite sure what that meant and would also like an answer.

maybe because in dual channel mode (if they had two) it has the potential to run at 1066mhz. the fsb is only 667mhz so it should run at that......maybe only a suggestion i dont know what im talking about.
