So I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro Mid 2012 to 8gb of ram (it's currently at 4gb).
I searched online and found some memory sticks by crucial, but they're 1066 MHZ.
When I look at my macbook pro's info, it tells me that it supports 1600. What would happen if I get a 1066 memory stick?

Higher MHz, Faster Memory. Would you notice? Only marginally probably as it is only one part of system speed. I think Crucial has a wizard for putting in the Mac information and providing a list of modules they make that will work. Then you can make the cost trade off decision. I think you will find the faster memory is not that much more expensive.
What happens if I buy a 1066 mhz memory stick instead of 1600?
Installing it in your Mac will cause it to crash, perhaps randomly, if it boots at all. Purchase and install the correct memory for your Mac. Faster is not correct. Slower is not correct. Only correct is correct.
