I cant seem to get it to run at 533 fsb, I have the nb voltage at max on the mb settings
Any advice?

you might just be hitting hardware limitations. 3.7 is pretty good for a quad.

I don't think they all will .. not sure though.

When you use a lower multi, its gonna push that RAM really hard .. assuming your using a 1:1 ratio .. *goes to see what RAM you have* lol

EDIT: Yea .. i cant get mine to go that high either .. at x6 ... (my RAM wont)

i think you mean 1066/1333. i'm no pro on this but i think you're dealing with two different fsb's here. getting a cpu to run at 533 is A LOT! i don't understand system architecture enough to really comment further. any pros around willing to set us straight?
