I have AM3 Gigabyte Mother board with 4 RAM Slots, I have filled in this order:
Slot #1: 2GB 1333 MHz
Slot #2: NA
Slot #3: 4GB 1600 MHz
Slot #4: 2GB 1333 MHz

I can see my PC shows 8GB RAM but in Task Manager, the speed is shown as 1333 only, can anything be done to speed this up?

Well, what mobo do you have? CPU? Your Mono/CPU might not be compatible with 1600mhz RAM and may have underclocked it. ANd to expalin what Tradesman is saying, he's telling you to overclock the 1333mhz stick to 1600mhz speeed. Basically means to modify the settings to make it go faster.
