they will work but the 3200 will lower itself to the 2100 speeds and it wont be in dual channel.
 
I would just upgrade to 2x512MB of DDR 400. That way, you get high speed, dual channel, and more capacity. If you had a 1GB stick of DDR400 and a 256MB stick of DDR266, it would have more capacity, but would compromise drastically on both the speed, and it would only be single channel.
