Pc2700 + Pc3200 = ?

Is it possiable to run a stick of PC2700 and PC3200 on the same board? I own a 256 of PC2700, and I bought a stick of PC3200, and it won't post. Both work individually, my PC2700 even boots windows at 190 fsb with all aggressive timings, haven't checked stability yet. Or do I need to try different slots. My board is the Abit KX7-333R with bios flashed from 7M to 9K.

BTW - I do not have the little speaker plugged in, that thing is so annoying on boot up. And I was planning on selling my old stick, so if they don't work together I'm gonna do that(the PC2700 that is).

They should work together just fine. If anything the pc2700 should slow down the system a bit.

Like he said it should work fine but if you meant it maybe the bottleneck in a overclock then that is correct but memory shouldn't seem any different. The main issue is compatibility.

Thanks, try different combinations of dimm slots then, just so I know they should work together. I'm not worried about bottlenecking too much. Because my board is only Kt-333 chipset, I probably won't reach a 200 fsb overclock anyways, and with my PC2700 able to hit 190 fsb, I think I'm doing pretty good.

Forgot to mention they are both Corsair XMS, so compatiablity shouldn't be an issue I think.

That is what I meant, had to go to class so I was typing without really thinking
