Is it possible to use a 3600 MHz HyperTransport CPU in a 2000 MHz Motherboard?

I am aiming for getting a AMD Phenom 9600 CPU with a HyperTransport speed of 3600 MHz.

However, I do not know if that will be compatible with a motherboard with a HyperTransport capability of 2000 MHz.

1. Is it possible to overclock this in the mobo's BIOS for compatibility?

2. If overclocking to meet the CPU's standard is the answer, then won't 2000 MHz to 3600 MHz be too much?

3. Is there another solution?
