Everything is normal. The first screen shot is just a list of the timings supported by your ram. You need to look at the Memory tab to see what speed your ram is running at. as for the slower clock speed that has to do with power savvying the CPU multiplier changes depending on CPU usage, so in your CPU'scase it would jump between 333 x 6 and 333 x 8 or 2000 and 2664.

Go into the bios and disable the C1 Enhanced HALT.
