Will the Intel HM55 mobile chipset support DDR3 1333MHz ram?

The reason I ask is:

I'm planning to buy this laptop: ASUS P52F
It is based on the Mobile Intel® HM55 Express Chipset.

If you see the ram spec on the ASUS product page, it says
"DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SODIMM socket for expansion up to 8GB SDRAM "

Does this mean it will not support anything higher than 1066MHz? Or does the mobile HM55 express chipset support 1333MHz ram?

Thanks Gurus.

From what I gather that's what ASUS ships with the latptop. I don't know if it's the max supported speed though. Intel isn't much help there.

normally if the mobo or chipset dont support higher speed memory it will run it at the default speed of the chipset. you have two choices, email Asus, or email one of the memory manus tech support peeps they can help you out loads
