ARe you looking for anOC solution here? Like how much max you can squeeze out?
In that case Post your Mobo Model and pC2-5300 isnt exactly a OC friendly Ram.

which motherboard is that?
Your ram is 667 mhz-thats the dual channel frequency.its shown 333 only-thats ram cycle (frequency) and thats what CPuz is showing-its correct.
but the thing is-
if ur motherboard has 4 ram slots then u've inserted the rams wrong
Dual channel is enabled if u insert same rams (which u have) in same colored slots-like both rams in blue slots \black slots ,etc .that will make rams run in dual channel i.e. 667mhz in ur case
After that CPuz will show rams in either slot 2 and 4 or slot 1 and 3 -thats the correct order

MOBO is Mainboard Model Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2.

I have inserted the RAMs in the same coloured slots, side by side, other two slots are of different colour.

I still feel the system very slow with soo much of RAM and processing power.
