Most motherboards that support pc2700 can support pc3200, so if you're getting rid of your ram go for pc3200. You can use pc3200 and pc2700 together, but you won't get the benefit of DDR. They have to be identical RAM chips in order to work with each other. You can still use them together, but it's faster if you upgrade in pairs.

depending on the motherboard and time it was made well you can use together pc2700 pc2100 and pc3200 however pc2100 runs @ 266 mhz as to where pc2700 runs @ 333 mhxz and pc3200 runs @ 400 mhz they will allw ork togehter on 99% of boards made but where the problem comes in is is you take a 256 stick of pc2100 and add it to your 256 stick of pc2700 the pc2700 will run @ the speed the pc2100 runs at pc3200 which runs @ 400 speed will run @ 333 speed if added to a board that has pc 2700 on it and at 266 speed if it is put on a board that has pc2100 on it

You need to look at the manual for your PC or motherboard to find out how much and what speed of memory your system can handle. You can also go to websites like crucial.com to scan your system to find out what memory use can use.
If you have PC2700, that is probably the recommended memory speed for your system, now you just need to get larger modules.

look up the manufacturer of ur board n look up the specs, most boards will handle either 2100 2700 3200 but i always go 3200
