cpu and MB noncompatible???fsb`?

Hi!! Sorry if my English is confusing, I'm from Norway. I hope someone can help me out here.
I ordered the Asus A8N-SLI PREMIUM but it has a max bus speed of 1000 MHz?!? Anyway that's what it says where I ordered it: http://psdata.no/ps.asp?it=113456&mlevel=010500

However on this other site it says the fsb on this motherboard is 2000 mhz!!
: http://www.databutikken.com/no/default.php?artId=ASA8N-SLIPRE

On Asus website it says that "Currently, it also supports AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU".

So without giving it much thought I also ordered a AMD CPU ATHLON-64 4600+ X2 S-939 2.4GHz
Afterwards I learned that it's being said to have a Front Side Bus Speed of 2000 mhz here :
http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-AMD_AMD_Athlon_64_X2_4600_2_4GHz_Socket939_1MB_BOXED_w_fan

and a FSB of 1000 mhz here :
http://prisguide.hardware.no/cpu_prosessor/amd_athlon_64_x2_4600+/productinfo/30122.html

If the Athlon 64 x2 4600 fsb is 1000 mhz then I'll be fine right? I don't know much about these things but if it's correct that the prosessor I ordered uses a fsb of 2000 mhz and the MotherBoard can only do 1000 mhz, I'm in troubble aren't I ? Can anyone tell me if my new MB will work with my new cpu?
