Not all memory frequencies are supported by all motherboards.

If your motherboard only supports 800/1066/1333, buying 1600s just because they are only $10 more probably wouldn't be smart.

Why might you not mind using slower memory if faster memory is available for a marginal price?

The first reason is that your computer may not be able to run at the speed of the faster memory, so there would be no benefit. The second may be if the computer is not compatible with the faster memory. Depending on the design of the motherboard, some computers cannot take memory faster than they are designed for. In theory, faster memory is supposed to be programmed with the settings to run at the slower speed, but the settings are not always correct, and the faster RAM may still cause a problem with the memory controller of the computer.

Why might you not mind using slower memory if faster memory is a available for a marginal price?

Generally faster memory (RAM) is always desirable. Many computers have more than the user really needs or uses, but it does no harm to have it. As the available programs and options increase, having more available memory is an advantage, especially if you run more than one program at a time. When a computer is "multi-tasking, it is not really doing two or more things at the same time. It is actually racing back and forth between the tasks. But computers do this so fast that we poor humans think it's all happening simultaneously.
