I am looking to build a computer. I'm looking at the Intel motherboard DH67GD, which says it supports Dual DDR3-1333/1066 memory. The processor I'm looking at (Intel 2nd gen. i5-2400, SR00Q) says it supports DDR3-1066/1333 memory. Are the two parts compatible? If so, which type of memory should I get?
Thanks.

dual jus't refers to dual channel... which means you'd get improved performance by using pairs of indentical memory modules in your system. Some systems use tripple channel of quad channel memory so you'd have to use three or four identical memory modules. On your case, make sure you use a pair of identical once or 2 pairs if you want to fill up the banks on your mobo (in which case you could also opt for a set of quad modules but they tend to be a bit more expensive).
