ok nice.Can I use the 4 ram sticks together? they will run at the lowest speed I guess? do different timings in them affect? 

you can do that. They will run according to the worst spec sticks.

yes it can be underclocked.

The only thing I'm disagreeing with in that TH post is this:

Quote

running RAM at a lower speed will prolong its life

Something about that just doesn't seem right to me.

Quote or tag me( @Crunchy Dragon) if you want me to see your reply

boards that dont support past 1600 or 1333 will just run it at their max supported speed. 1866 is like the top speed of a car, it's there but you don't have to reach it.
