I'm going to order hardware for a gaming computer tomorrow and I have s question about my motherboard ( http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20H170%20Performance/ ) The memory specification says that it supports ddr4 2133. Does this mean it supports specifically 2133 mhz? 2133 MHz and above? 2133 MHz and below? Thanks :)

Memory speed uses a ratio based on the CPU bus speed. That particular motherboard only has one supported ratio, and that is for DDR4 2133.

Since it uses the H170 chipset, no overclocking (including memory) is supported. Intel officially supports DDR4 2133, so that is what that motherboard can do. If you want to run your memory faster than that, you should get a Z170 based motherboard.
