It is standard for 32 bit systems, that is all that can be addressed. If you want more then you must switch to 64 bit XP or 64 bit Vista

all in bios it shows the ram running at 533 instead of 800 why is that?

Well you really haven't given enough information to answer. However assuming that you just built a new Core 2 duo running at stock speeds 533 times 2 is 1066 which is what the front side bus is rated at without over-clocking. Now if you are running a AMD X2 then something would be wrong.
