I have two sticks of kingston PC 3500 ram and I was looking to buy some PC 3200 ram because it's half the price, but will it work? My current 3500 ram clocks down and works fine, so should it work fine?

Yes, it's HyperX and I bought it about 2 years ago.
And right now I have a 2200+ and my 3500 underclocks to 2700 speeds, so that I'm not worried about, but I was thinking maybe it would have a problem with two different speeds of ram.
The reason I want 3200 is for my A64 which I'm getting soon.

if you bought your ram 2 years ago, i'm pretty sure you have some BH-5. I would definity KEEP your ram!! As for different speeds, if you can change your multi, kick it down to 8.5 and run your ram @3500 spds. 8.5x216=1836MHz.
Okay, your 3500 ram is higher than 3200, so underclocking it to that speed is not a problem. however, you could probably clock that up to at least 235-240@11-2-2-2!!
what do you mean by two different speeds of ram? running each stick @ a different speed?
