Can I use 1333MHz RAM rather than 1066MHz RAM in my Macbook Pro?

Hi,

I have a 15' Macbook Pro from Summer 2009 (2.53Ghz core 2 duo, 4GB 1066Mhz DDR3 RAM, 320GB Hard drive) and I've decided to upgrade the RAM to 8GB. I was wondering if it was possible to use 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 of RAM? The apple website offers 8GB 1066MHz to upgrade my Macbook Pro but I was wondering if 1333MHz would work rather than 1066MHz?

Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 8GB RAM upgrade
