This is a common point of misunderstanding. The memory is DDR3. DDR means "double data rate". So the computer "fetches" data from the memory twice on every cycle. So effectively it is 800 x 2 = 1600MHz. But really, honestly, it is making 800 cycles per second or megahertz. Different applications report the speed differently. What you see is correct and normal and there is no problem. 

 

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!
