Hypertransport Frequency on CPU and Motherboard

Hi all, I have some confusion on my current set-up, I have a K9N Neo-F MB Hypertransport 1000 Mhz and an AMD Athlon 64 5200+ X2 which has a 2000 MHZ Hypertransport frequency, does this mean that my CPU is been bottlenecked by the hypertransport of motherboard? cause im planning to change my motherboard to an ASUS M4A78 which has a 2600 MHZ hypertransport http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131381R

nah its just marketing screwing with things. its read like DDR, the 1000MHz your mobo states is the same as the 2000MHz the CPU states.

the 2600MHz is only going to work on the newer CPU's.
