MacBook not booting up with 1066MHz DDR3 memory

I bought a second hand white 13" MacBook late 2009 2,26ghz MacBook6,1

the idea is to use it as an mp3 player connected to the HiFi


it as installed 4Gb ram

2 x 2Gb DDR3 1333MHz


i've bought un upgrade kit of 8GB 2 x 4GB PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz

according to what i found online on everymac.com and OWC


and it's not booting up


so i want back to the 2Gb installed!


don't understand, everywhere online it says 1066MHz, but mine is not!!


i've attached a screenshot of system information, the 2 ram installed, and the upgrade i've bought


how is that possible??


:)
