So from what I have read the new skylake boards will have DDR4 and DDR3L compatibility, from what I have found online this is the difference between DDR3/DDR3L:

DDR3: 1.5v
DDR3L: 1.35v
DDR3U: 1.25v

So am I correct in saying L and U are just new fancy ways of saying they are low voltage?

I have the following RAM: DDR3 PC3-12800 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.35V 1024Meg x 64

Am I correct in saying that it should work with DDR3L boards as although it's not DDR3L certified it is made according to the standard that later became DDR3L?
 
DDR3L and DDR3 are the same except DDR3L just means that the modules can run at 1.35V or lower. As your modules run at 1.35V, I think they should be fine.
