In aidia 64 it says it is ddr3 1333 when the box and newegg say 1600. I have this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233180&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

It would not bother me except I am about to buy another 8gbs, andI don't want to buy 8gbs more of a different brand in 1600 if they run at different frequencies. With that being said, Can I buy two different brand memory modules, I want to buy some gskill ares ram, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231544&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= because it is cheaper and low profile, but with my stated problem and different brands, should I?
 
I have 1600MHz DDR3 also but I run it @ 1443 due to the way I am over-clocking my CPU. I can say that it does not have the impact you might think, at least with my setup. I have bench-marked it @ 1600MHz with variable setting on my CPU but this gets me the best results.

You probably just need to configure your memory settings in BIOS.
