Two different speed RAM chips in same mother board?

I have dual channel PC3200 ram and its equal to DDR400 PC6000. Its running at 200mhz with a bandwidth of 6gb/s.

I did say it wasn't 100% didn't I?

In any event, if you'd like to continue debating the semantics of this please start a new thread. We've hijacked this one too much already.

Oh darn lol. Well, at least maybe whoever reads this thread will gain knowledge from our debate lol. At least maybe it wasnt useless. Anyway, i was just stressing a pointless little word

Ok so I got from all this discussion (u guys are funny) that I should add the extra memory. Thanks.
Now you said that I would be better off buying a cheap 512 chip? that makes me go back to the same question... should I leave my compu as is with a 512 400 mhz, should I add the 256 333 mhz or should I just buy another 512 mhz.
GUY consider your audience here please. Thanks again!

I would recommend buying a good 512 stick, it should only cost $50 at most, im sure can be found cheaper. Corsair makes good ram. I hear good things of OCZ as well. If you run 2 512mb considering your mobo supports it you can run dual channel and get almost double the memory performance with nearly double the bandwidth. At DDR333 PC2700 that would be around 5.4gb/s or so. Not bad at all.
