CPU does not support Ram speed ?

This says my CPU does not support the Ram speed that I bought for the build.

I bought 1600 speed thinking it would be correct before I got this guide because

I was going by what the board supported.

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%...

Scroll to the bottom and see "notes".

I heard that if you put in the higher speed it would work but it would just downgrade

it to the highest speed that the CPU supported. If this is true I should just keep it

because I intend to up-grade to either a 965 or an FX 6300. That site says the 965

only supports the 1333 but the 6300 supports up to the 1866.

What is your info on this as far as using the 1600 speed in it now.

In case the link does not give you my CPU it is the Phenom II 550BE.
