that motherboard looks like it only supports DDR2 533, however, if you have both installed at once the 667 stuff will down clock to 533 to match the other.

in short, you shouldnt have a problem but the 667 will run at 533

Should be fine you wont have dual channel support if your MB supports it, takes matching sizes. In your case you don't have that now so you wont lose a thing.
