Quick help with memory

[xdviper]

Building a new computer for a friend, just brought the Intel DH55TC board and the I5 750, they're all here and now I need memory, the board says it supports DRR3 1333/1066
But on newegg, I've found a DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) type ram, IS it okay if I just install it on this board? would it just downclock itself to match with the board and work?

Thanks

I dont know the answer to your question, as some boards may support it and some may not...but here is a whole page of DDR3 1066

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...052129233 1052429231&name=DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500)

there is also a crap ton of DDR3 1333 on the site

Unless I am mistaken, I do believe that motherboard will run DDR3 1600MHz at its rated speed.
