I know It was stupid of me, but I have two different types of ram in my system, 1 of which is not being recognized at it's advertised speed of 1600 I Believe the ram is OCZ 3G1600lv2g 2gb

I have attached an image
with all my information

How would I go about manually entering the speeds timings etc in the bios would that be viable? The ram is supposed to run at 1600 as far as I know

They both are not same type of RAM... They are having different frequencies... For a DUAL CHANNEL mode you need RAMs with same frequency/memory/type... If not then they will not run in DUAL CHANNEL mode ...

Most likely because the 2nd ram is slower than the 1600, so it runs it at the lowest speed. Or since they are different types, they aren't running at dual channel (which you need to get the actual 1600) they are running at 1/2 of that (800)
