Yes, but the ram will only run at 1333 speed. The faster stick matches itself to the lower stick in order to do it.

You can, but you will have to select the speed and timings of the lower memory(1333). You will need to do this one way or another.
You just need to install it in the right slots for dual channel operation and the board will most likely take care of setting the speeds for you,

Just mixing sticks can cause problems like that regardless, try them at 1333, if BSODs raise DRM voltage + 0.05

All memory installed into a board will be defaulted to the speed and latencies of the slowest stick. You will get dual channel operation at 1333 mhz, and there should be nothing to "activate". All boards will run in dual channel mode if memory is installed in pairs of equal size.
The board sets the speed the memory will actually be running at. Memory is sold at the highest rated speed it is guaranteed or tested to be capable of working at without issues. Just because it says 1600 or faster is not the speed it will actually be working at when you install it. Most systems today default to 1333mhz, or 1066mhz for DDR3 memory. You must adjust the speed in the BIOS to get more.

Guys I have similar query, If you could HELP, please !
DH61WW supports upto 8GB of RAM and Bus Clock is 1066 MHz Can I install a Single 8GB 1866 Ram on Single channel ?
This is the motherboard I have:
http://www.cnet.com/products/intel-desktop-board-dh61ww...
Guys, I need to know that if I can put a single "Kingston 8gb Hyperx Fury 1866mhz Desktop Ram" DH61WW board and get the potential of it. Or should I go for dual 4GB stick type, like currently a 1366 Kingston 4GB ram is installed, should I add another Kingston 4gb Hyperx Fury 1866mhz Desktop Ram" and make it dual channel config ? Which will work the best ?
Which would be a better choice ?
PS: budget matters.
Thanks

You should'nt post a new question in another poster's thread. Its called hijacking, and its considered bad manners. You will get a much better response if you start a new thread with your new question!
