They'll fit and they should run at 667 MHz.

Yes since the MB is DDR2 supported and that Corsair is a It is a 667DDR2 240 pin DIMM. You cannot use a DDR2800 module unless you run it as 667mhz.

Here are all the supported RAM modules for that Motherboard.

why wont it run at a full 800mhz?

Because the fastest supported memory, according to Intel, is 667 MHz. As long as the modules have an SPD table for 333 MHz and require 1.8V-1.9V, they should work. Are they the best modules that you could buy for that motherboard? Definitely not.

You should buy less expensive modules that meet the specs and are certified to work with that motherboard:

Corsair VS1GB667D2 (single module): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820146580
Corsair VS2GBKIT667D2 (2 x 1 GB kit): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820145098
