First of all, you guys are talking about laptops when OP's machine is a desktop computer. With laptops there used to be so proprietary changes to BIOS in order for components to be less interchangeable.
Virtually all desktop machines I used can downclock higher rated memory to match slower modules installed on said machine. Do note that this was also with machines from the previous century. Unless you're planning to use that memory on another computer, there is absolutely no point in getting 800MHz modules, unless you can find them cheaper than 667MHz. Otherwise, just get 667MHz as it is the best fit for your system.
