Need Help on Buying new Ram

I wanted to know if a 1600 Mhz ram would work fine in the H67 chipset(DH67BL).

I couldn't find a 4GB X 1 1333 Mhz RAM stick around the net, if it was it was the entry value ones.

So I decided to go for 8 GB(4 GB X 2) modules but again all are available in 1600 Mhz.
I know it will run at lower frequency(1333 Mhz) but
I dont want stability issues neither I want to tweak the voltage settings on RAM to make it stable.

Please advice should I go for 8 GB(4 GB X 2) 1600 Mhz sticks?

P.S.:I know I have edited a existing theard, if doing so is against anything please forgive I am newbie
 
The PC3 values 10600 or 10666 and 12800 are the peak transfer rates in MB/s, whereas 1333Mhz or 1600MHz represent the data transfer frequency (max number of data transfers that can occur in a second). In general, the PC3 value is 8 times the data transfer frequency for DDR3 RAMS.
1333 x 8 = 10666
1600 x 8 = 12800
So, a 1333MHz can only give a peak transfer rate of 10666 MB/s and not beyond that. You cannot find a 1333MHz RAM with PC3 12800.

More details here: DDR3 SDRAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
