It wont have any probs, although the 2nd RAM will work at 266MHz only unlike PC 2700 which worx at 333MHz

It'll work.

In btw, why r u degrading when u already have a pc2700? At least take the similar one (if ur pocket allows only

)

Well i have read about this. There will be no problem to work but it wil work at the speed of only the "SLOWER RAM"

well i had a problem when i installed 2 diff frequency ram sticks.....and as far as i searched over the net i have found that it will work but will be having problems.unstability will be the issue

What is the benefit then of having two ram when ultimately ur sys performance is getting unstable? Better not to have two ram with diff freq, u will agree for sure.
