It's just about impossible to point you to that, without knowing exactly which model you're asking about.
any documentation that can back that up?
If the system uses a Core 2, the memory is DDR-2 and either 667 or 800 MHz depending on the CPU.
If it's a Core i system, which uses DDR-3, it's either 800 MHz or 1066 (again, depending on the CPU).
The tech specs on the PM45 chipset are here:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/320122.pdf
The Studio XPS 16 was/is built both ways - depends on your CPU and RAM type as to which mainboard you get (DDR-2 or -3; they're mutually exclusive).
Depends on the system model -- only the newer Core i systems will run memory at 1066 MHz. If you have an older Core 2 system (even one with a 1066 MHz FSB) it will not.
