Using Different speed ram on a desktop

eagle0588 · 06-21-2008, 11:45 PM

My dad's desktop is using a Shuttle An35n mobo with pc2700 (333 mhz) ram - 256mb. I think it is time for an upgrade.

But I found that this mobo also supports PC3200 ram. I was wondering if it is ok to use both the pc3200 ram along with the pc2700 ram. I"m guessing it;s probably not recommended.

Also, how much difference is there between a pc3200 vs pc2700?
