Supported memory clock speeds of CPU?

Yes. Besides that, the speed at which the RAM operates at is dictated by the motherboard.

You can, but it's not ideal. See the third post (or second answer) at https://serverfault.com/questions/650426/two-different-intel-xeon-e5-24xx-on-one-dual-socket-motherboard.

On Intel ark, supported memory types are listed under the "memory specifications" section. If the listing is DDR3 800/1066, does that mean I can't use a 1333 memory stick or is the 1333 just going to be bottlenecked into a 1066?

Most likely the latter. What is the specific use case though?

Main rig: i7 8086K // EVGA Z370 Micro // 16GB Gskill TridentZ 3200Mhz CL14 // Sapphire Pulse RX 7800XT// a variety of noctua cooling // Corsair RM750x v2 //  Fractal Meshify C

Secondary rig: R5 3600 // MSI B450i Gaming Plus // 16GB Gskill FlareX 3200CL14 // MSI GTX 1080ti Gaming X // Cooler Master V650 // Fractal Meshify C

Audio setup: Audient iD4 // Adam A7X // Sennheiser HD 650 // Sennheiser HD 25-II // Audio Technica M50x // Sennheiser Momentum 4

I bought an e5-2609 server and happen to have spare 1333 mhz sticks lying around... was wondering whether I can use them in my server.

Haven't gotten the server yet... so I can't test them.

It's certainly worth a try. Not familiar with server grade stuff but with recent mainstream Intel memory speeds should fix itself to the processors max supported memory frequency

Agreed. I'm pretty sure it will just downclock to the supported speed but been a while since I checked myself.

Advertised RAM speeds are what the RAM can go up to. That's it.

so they will work?

also, another question... for dual-cpu systems, can the CPUs be of different models?

I just have a spare e5-2670 that I want to put into use somehow... why is e5-2609 recommended a higher price on intel ark than e5-2670? It has 4 threads only... with a lower frequency and less cache. It doesn't even support turbo.

The recommended price for the E5-2609 is $299, the E5-2670 is at $1550.
