Can you stick a 1600Mhz memory stick into a mother board that has a processor that says it can only handle 1066/1333? If you can, will this pose any problems in the future or benefit?

Does the memory type of the processor need to match the memory speed of the memory sticks you are using?
Can you get away with using a higher memory speed than your memory speed? Any problems going to be faced?
Finally, open for changes. Any components you think would be better like different memory or mobo.
Thanks in advance.
