this is quite common and you are only about the 43719 person in a forum to ask this question :)

JEDEC only specifies memory up to PC2-6400 so all modules SPD is programmed to read PC2-6400 in this tab of CPU-Z. from PC2-6400 up to PC2-9600 and everything in-between should read PC2-6400 in the SPD tab of CPU-Z. HTH
