Running 1600mhz RAM on a 1333mhz CPU?

[Glowdusk]

Hello everyone,

I currently have 4GB of 1333mhz ram installed in my rig. I may upgrade in the future to 8GB ram, but the thing is my CPU currently supports up to 1333mhz RAM, and most of the RAM I find on the internet is 1600mhz and is actually cheaper than the 1333mhz versions. Can my CPU/MoBo run the RAM in 1333mhz mode? My BIOS does support clocking the RAM at my choice.

My PC Specs:

CPU - Intel G2020
MoBo - ASUS PB875-M LX
Corsair 4GB 1333mhz DDR3.

Thank you in advanced.

The DRAM should default to 1066 or 1333 on initial install
