They wont,they will run only as fast as the slowest one which even if you overclock will not run at 1600.
The 1066 is not designed to run at 1600.
Buy a new 1600 stick if you want them all at that speed or take out the 1066

You controller supported speeds are also important. Intel processors are infamous because of 1066 limitation. So, 1600 may be of no use anyway.

Also, it is important to understand how do you mix them: install into separate channel or into the same channel. You may get less than 1066 if install multiple modules into the same channel.

Check that everything is automatic in the BIOS.
