1800MHZ (OC) Memory

hi all
i am building my second computer and i need someone to clarify a few things for me
i am using this mobo - Asus P5E64 WS Evolution Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard.
what does 1800mhz(oc) and 1600mhz(oc) mean ? i know it has to do with the motherboard not supporting these ram speeds natively.

(for example) if i buy ddr3 1800mhz for this board and it has 1800mhz(oc) would there be a problem ?

Thanks For Taking Time To Help Me On This Matter

i do belive it will work mate, the (oc) part means you will just have to manually set the voltage and frequency *1800/1600MHz* in the bios.
