RAM Question

Most ram is capable of running at slower speeds or transfer rates, before you buy and put this new ram in your motherboard check your bios.
You might find that in the bios, its set to 333mhz and not 400mhz so you could change it there ,but not if your cpu is o/c alot of ram will run at the slower speed when cpu o/c hence yours should be 400mhz but is running now at 333mhz
 
You lost me...lol! What I need to know is will it work with the ram I got now and just run at 333mhz or is it not compatible?

Your PC3200 does run stock at 200/400MHZ the same as what is in the link. There both DDR 400. For some reason your board has it back clocked to 166/333. The new ram will do the same so it should be fine. What motherboard and CPU do you have, just wonderning why its just running at PC2700-166/333 speeds.

It is just the OEM board that came in a Compaq desktop I picked up for the kids...I purchased the 512mb kingston they had for $25 to go with the 512 I already have and it is working great, thank you all for advice.
