I don't think the Phenom II will support 1066MHZ memory. It may work, but it will default to a lower speed. I would look for 800MHZ. But DDR2 RAM is getting scarce and demanding a premium price today. Here are some choices...

And remember, always match pairs of RAM sticks. And use the same for all 4 slots if you go that route.

I'm afraid I may have given you some faulty advice. After further investigation, it appears both the Phenom II 965 and the Asrock board support 1066MHZ memory with a few minor exceptions.
