Will this RAM work?

[richchrono]

I am buying an MSI 990FXA-GD65V2 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard and I want to be sure that the G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model will work with this motherboard.

The mobo specs say DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600/1800*/2133* (OC).

Does that mean that this RAM will work? Or am I limited to 1600 RAM?

It will work, just run at the boards specified speed.
