This is the list for your board, look for it here and then search the exact model numbers on newegg or wherever you plan to order:

Maybe but I don't recommend it. You should look up the memory list for the board and buy something from that list.

Now it could work, and downclock to the right speed, but there are no guarantees and things like the timings come into play where you could have compatibility issues. That is why using the tested memory list is the best way to go when buying memory.
