Hi, I need to buy me some more RAM. I currently have a 4gb 1066MHZ but I need more. I can currently get 8GB DDR3 2133 or 1600 MHZ on special. I want to know if those would be compatible with my Pentium G630 2.7GHz and my Gigabyte GA H61M S2P.
Thanks in advance!

2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory
* Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2200(OC)/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules

It looks like it will work. Above is the memory specs of your board.

Yes, the memory will work with the mobo, but will it work with the CPU, seeing as my CPU limits RAM at 1066 MHz. What Im basically asking is if the PC will still work with ram that has a higher Frequency than my CPU supports.
