I'm building a new comp for my friend who insisted on going for an amd proc, I've already bought the memory and it's DDR2 1066 (PC2-8500) but I can't find an AMD board that supports crossfire DD2-1066 and AMD procs

Is it possible to run DDR2-1066 on a DDR2-800 board?

thanks

Yes it will work, but it will run at DDR2-800. Why do you want to spend more though when it wont run at 1066?
 
Why not just tweak (notice how i didnt say OVERclock) it to its rated settings? As the person above suggested?
