you can use 333Mhz RAM chip.
But it will work at 266Mhz speed only.The higher frequency RAM will underclock automatically to match lower frequency .

Your motherboard supports only PC2100, PC1600.....too bad.....try find it in ur local market or post in Bazaar section!

Does it cause any problem to motherboard or performance?
My motherboard FSB is 400MHz.

Thats ur CPU frequency but ur memory only supports only PC 1600 and PC 2100 which is 200 MHz and 266 MHz frequency respectively!

It should not.........but before buying just give a try.
your RAM frequency will underclock to your old RAM frequency.Thus it will work at lower frequency only.

IMO....

if you can then sell off the 256 mb ram u have , and...

get any 1 GB DDR RAM u can find, be it DDR 400 or lower...

it will work in your pc ...

Nopes...Sidewinder was right.Manufacturer do matter ! As the same manufacturer will probably use same kind of ram chips in its productline it will help to avoid conflict !

When you are mixing RAMs of different frequency it is always advisable to go for the same manufacturer !

There are some standards..and all companies follow it.So, company doesn't matter.
