Solution
The AMD FX-8150 supports 1866MHz memory with one DIMM per channel, 1600MHz is supported with two DIMMs per channel. Any higher frequencies require overclocking the system.
well unless theres an issue that the update fixes of some new hardware will require it no need to risk it if your running well and have no issues covered in the update why risk it? my board has 3 updates over the one I'm running now but I'm running fine and dandy with the one I got in it now [opinion]
