Is it true that if you buy 1000mhz+ RAM it will be lowered down to 800mhz if the mother board only supports 533/667/800? I was told this and it does not make sence because i,ve never seen a motherboard that supports more than 533/667/800 RAM, so meaning that 1000mhz+ ram would be pointless? Thanks.
 
Yes it is true. That RAM is mainly intended for overclocking and is guranteed to run at 500MHz, taking one of the limits out of the equation.

Also 680i based boards support DDR-1200.
