Can this motherboard crossfire/SLI?

It does NOT officially support SLI. There are 2 PCI-E x16 ports but only 1 of them is PCI 3.0; the other is PCI 2. It does support crossfire though.

Can this use 1866 of ram

http://us.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-PC-Mate.html#support-memOfficially, that's the list of memory that they tested with this motherboard. Logically, when a motherboard says DDR3 2400, that means that it will support DDR3 memory up to that speed. Therefore, any DDR3 memory under that speed should, in theory, work with this motherboard.If you're worried about compatibility then go with memory with the most positive reviews versus negative reviews. Otherwise, you can always return/exchange whatever you buy if it doesn't work.

I have 2 DDR3 RAM sticks running at 1333MHz. Anyways, is my RAM compatible with this motherboard?

"Yes as long as it's DDR3. By the way, with this motherboard both sticks must be of the same size, you have to put pairs of the same size and can't install single sticks; that's because one of the multiple optimizations on this motherboard because it's meant for gaming."Does this mean you can use 2 8gb and 2 say 2 or 4 gb ddr3?Edit: Also if you were to use 2600 Mhz cards would you be better off? A noticeable difference?
