| What two slots are the RAM in on the motherboard? They should be either both in the blue slots or both in the white slots. This will make it run in dual channel mode. You can just manually bump the speed up to 533. There shouldn't be any issues if you run the RAM at it's rated voltage and put the timings on auto. And welcome to HL!

| Go into the BIOS and manually set the frequency to 533. Make sure that you have the voltage at the manufacturer specs also. Keep the timings at auto though, they will change automatically when you raise the speed to 533.
