On some systems you are able to "Tweak" the memory.
Then having a higher Mhz memory would be an advantage.
Any increase in the memories Mhz would not exceed the memory specs.
Maybe one of the AW experts will chime in as I have limited experience with AW.

Welcome to the Dell Community @PPEETTEERR
Yes it does.
But it will run at the memory bus speed of 2666 MHz
