BIOS, Windows, Everest and cpu-z all tell me that the RAM is running at 200MHz instead of 400MHz. I'm not too familiar with manually assigning timings and speeds in the BIOS. Can I just set the memory speed to 400MHz and the timing to the recommended 3-3-3-8 in the BIOS? Any tips would be great, since I would like to get the most out of this RAM.
 
200 MHz is correct. DDR memory can read, or write twice each for each clock cycle
hence 200MHz memory = 400MHz DDR, i.e Double Data Rate. The timings can be set using the automatic or manual bios settings. Sometimes slight adjustments are helpful.

 
About the timings, the BIOS will automatically run your ram at those 3-3-3-8 if that is what the chip is programmed to do. and 200mhzx2 = 400mhz, like blake said
