AM1 5350 and memory speed

[j0ndafr3ak]

Hi,
I'd like to build a AM1-based PC, with a 5350 and a Asus AM1I-A, which supports AMP, so, i guess, i can select the preset memory profile shown in the bios.

Both the apu and the motherboard support up to 1600 mhz ram. If i get higher speed ram (let's say 2133 mhz, which is about the same price) will I benefit from the speed increase once I select the memory profile in the bios? Or will I stil be limited to 1600mhz? I'm aware the am1 chipset supports single channel configurations only.

thank you all

Pretty sure when the motherboard only supports up to 1600, then 1600 is all you get.
