i want to purchase a Ram of DDR3 4 x 4 GB ...of Corsair Dominator Platinum Series but my Motherboard is GA-P55 USB 3.0 and it's memory compatibility is DDR3 2200/1333/1066/800 MHz and in Corsair Dominator series comes with 2133/1600/1866.My question is below :

1 ) Will my motherboard MHZ (i.e 2200) can match with Corsair dominator memory MHz(i.e 2133) because it is less Mhz than my Motherboard Memory MHz ??? i.e

Motherboard (MHz) Dominator (MHz)
2200 2133 , 1866
 
Solution
Those RAM are not compatible with your GA-P55 MB, because those new RAM are the high density memory, and they have problem to be compatible with intel old MB, like your P55. You need the low density memory, if you don't which is the low density RAM, you can use the memory finder like:

Your mobo is an 1156 and were designed to run with low density DRAM, the Dominators and all currently made DRAM is made with high density memory ICs, so chances are slim - better to go maybe 1600 sticks, say the original Ripjaws (not the X or Z models (high density) or GSkill's value line of NT sticks
