What Memory Does the AMD Athlon X4 860K Support

[Looeelooee1]

Okay, so I went to CPU World (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-Athlon%20II%20X4%20860K.html) to look at the specs for the 860K; and it says that the supported memory is DDR3-2133. Does that mean that that is the only memory I can use, or does it mean that it supports that and anything lower. The reason I ask is because I have DDR3-1600 memory. So would that work, or would I need to upgrade my memory?
Any help much appreciated thanks in advance!

It will work just fine with 1600Mhz but can support higher frequencies.

It basically supports up to 2133mhz natively. You don't have to have super fast memory.

You can use lower, but lower speeds will affect loading times and how fast things feel. If it's not enough to bug you, it's not worth worrying about.

The Althon X4 860K will support 2133MHz RAM and below.
2133MHz RAM is of course faster then 1866MHz RAM and 1600MHz RAM.
But 1866MHz and 1600MHz RAM is still supported and will work just fine on the Althon X4 860K
