The clock speed shouldn't be a problem - RAM will down-clock as needed.

But check the RAM manufacturer's website for a compatibility list. Some older chipsets only support certain high-density DIMMs and stuff.
 
As dave_the_nerd said, yes you can. And it is a good idea. As Blain pointed out, it could be rated for a higher voltage at that speed anyway, so you won't have to worry about the default settings and voltage being enough for stability.
