RAM Running Slow?

One of them is at Frequency 266mhz and the other is at 400, should that be a problem?

You're looking at the wrong tab. That's the SPD, which shows the timings and voltage you should use at different frequencies.
Look at what the memory tab says, that will be the current speed. Double the number that cpu-z show. 266 is your ram running at 533Mhz, and 400 is the ram running at 800Mhz.

You're using PC6400 RAM so CPUZ should show 400Mhz. Memory---DRAM Frequency
