OT (and a bit of threadjacking) but, if your motherboard only supports up to DDR2 800Mhz..buying 1066Mhz would be useless as it'll downgrade to 800Mhz?

MB in question is P5W DH Deluxe...I plan on replacing my 667Mhz 2X1GB with either 800Mhz or 1066Mhz 4X2GB for overclocking. I know this board doesont have the greatest potential but I want to squeeze the most juice out of it since I cant afford a new mobo.
