The RAM you choose is dependent on the Mobo.
CPU supporting RAM ?
What is it mean in the specifications when RAM speed is mentioned?
in this link : Intel® Core
Does this mean that processor can only support a maximum of 1066MHz while talking to RAM and there would be no point in having 1333 Mhz RAM for such a processor?
The answer would be highly appreciated.

With the i7 CPU's the memory controller is on the CPU 1066 is the native speed, speeds above that are doable just considered overclocking.
So without overclocking, The CPU won't gain anything from having a 1333 Mhz. chipset instead of a 1066 Mhz. one ?With the i7 CPU's the memory controller is on the CPU 1066 is the native speed, speeds above that are doable just considered overclocking.
Higher end MoBos will find the ram and "Overclock" the cpu for you.
If your MoBo doesn't its some easy tweaking in bios to get the extra speed.
Unless you plan on building a server i don't suggest ram sticks faster then 1333.

I do plan on building a server actually, But isn't overclocking like f**king your own hardware so it might die faster ?
Not if the hardware is built to run those speeds, in this case the ram, but for a server look for sticks that run at 1.5v rather then 1.65v
True server ram is actually slower, EEC parity, high density ram used on server chipsets(55xx dual CPU) with the Xeon W series CPU's.

OC'ing does put unnecessary stress on components and voids warranties. Simple solution, build with hardware that does what you want/need then there is no need to over stress any hardware with OC'ing.
