Desktop memory

I plan to get this motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard and 16gb of this memory, CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M2A1600C10.

Will it work? I know nothing about memory so I don't know which brand or type is the best.

Thanks

"Be sure to run your operating system at 64bit or all that RAM will be a waste. "

Why is that? Don't they have memory for 32bits?

I see that from the Physical Memory Limits: Windows 7 from RichJS link, that for 32 bits, my max is 4gb. So if I bought 8gb then I will be wasted 4gb.

I will be building a new PC. What do you mean by the correct 64bit license. I will get the Win 7 Enterprise 64bit. That should work. Correct?
What is the difference between ddr3 1600 and ddr3 1333. Is one faster than the other? My motherboard is ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel and it looks like it is compatible with both the ddr3 1600 and 1333. Correct?
