I have two queries. Will a 1333MHz RAM fit with a motherboard that supports up to 1066MHz? And if the RAM is U-DIMM and the motherboard has a DIMM slot, will it function properly? This setup uses the Zeb-G41-D3 motherboard with an LGA 775 socket, and the RAM is listed on Amazon.in by Simmtronics.

Probably. In my experience the memory will just be downclocked to 1066Mhz. Of course there is a small chance it won't work, but that will always be the case with memory. I haven't had bad luck with DDR3 in the past, it usually 'just works'. Yes. U-DIMM = Unbuffered DIMM, which you could basically see as "normal memory" (as opposed to SO-DIMM that is laptop memory, or R-DIMM which is reregistered memory).

It might influence<|pad|>'s performance in some way. That detail from the motherboards page about two DIMM slots is relevant.

What aspects influence the results? Are you asking about additional memory or comparing clock speeds of 1066Mhz versus 1333Mhz?

Because the motherboard only has DIMM slots and you're using U-DIMM RAM, it might cause compatibility issues. This is what some Amazon reviews mentioned about U-DIMM not working with DIMM boards.

U-DIMM and R-DIMM fits in DIMM slot but only U-DIMM will work on Ur mobo. However, there is another G41 chipset limitation - only "double banking RAM" (I.E. RAM with chips on both sides) will work.
