i7 950 (not Extreme) + Asus P6T + 2Ghz RAM?

[idata]

Using standard XMP profiles, the Asus P6T mobo supports 2Ghz memoryspeed and so does the Kingston HyperX PCR16000 but can the regular i7 950 work with it (am having trouble at the moment)? And if not, what is the maximum I can get the ram to work at and not fry the cpu? Is it enough to decrease the cpu multiplier?

This is the article I based my buy on but missed the 'Extreme' tag on the cpu...
