Go to the motherboard's manufacturer's website.

Find your motherboard and its' User Guide/Manual/specs.

There should be some listing of what memory modules and corresponding memory configurations are supported.

I would not rely on a "big box" store to make such determinations.

And make an effort to validate any compatibility claims that you do find via applicable Forums and FAQs.

Looked at the compatibility it goes up to 2666mhz but not 3000 i remeber hearing if u get faster memory it just down clocks to a slower speed does any one know if this is the case?

That is correct.

One advantage of being "backwards" compatible is that a product/component will properly function in "lesser" environments.

Will not be faster but at least it will work......

Overall, performance can only be as fast as the slowest component.
