it'll work, but it will only run at the lowest timings...

if you have multiple sticks of RAM in there at different speeds they all run at the slowest speed.

the only way you will be able to tell any difference is if you are playing games on this computer. PC2700 compared to PC3200 is marginal. Just like when you overclock your ram from DDR400 to DDR500 or whatever the difference is marginal.
