I selected an Athlon II X2 250 processor for my new computer build and I also selected a pair of DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) sticks of RAM. However when I did some research on the CPU I read on the AMD website that the X2 line can only support up to DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500). Does this mean that my CPU will bottleneck the DDR3-1333 and that I should just go with the DDR3-1066?

P.S. here's where I got the Athlon II information (It's under types of memory supported)
