yes you can...not recommended, but you can...the 400 one would run at the 233 speed, though, so you're not using its full potential

This is a big no no. The DDR 233 runs slower than the DDR 400, you will have to be careful that your memory runs at the same speed. BE sure to make sure your DDR 400 runs at the 233 speed, else you will be faced with your memory burning out.

Yes but they will run at the slower speed. But most people don,t notice. Unless your a gamer then get both the same fast speed...

from experience u can..provided ur m/b can support both
but i heard the faster ram will be slowed because of the slower slot available.
get rid of the PC2100, its ancient!!

They are compatible, but as the first guy said, they would both end up running at the speed of the slower one.

you're able to do this, yet overall performance sucks. you're able to get memory appropriate themes or weird and wonderful themes. a while you finally end up in short circuit of the RAM. Take care whilst setting up. stable luck.

No
SDRAM Memory (168-pin DIMMS):
You can mix SDRAM Memory (168-pin DIMMS), it will run at slowest speed.
DDR Memory (184-pin DIMMS) & DDR II Memory (240-pin DIMMS) :
The modules can be used singly or in combination however you're not able to mix different speeds together.

Yes, of course you can, IT all depends on a few things.
1) If they are both PCI cards, then insert them in, and choose which one you want to use for your monitor(or you can use both).
2) If one is AGP, and one is PCI, then insert them in and choose which one you want to use for your monitor(or you can use both).
3) If both are AGP then, if your board has two AGP ports, then insert them in, and choose which one you want to use for your monitor(or you can use both), if your board does not have two AGP ports, then you cannot.
*You can tell PCI slots, becasue they are short and white, AGP on the otherhand is longer and colored.
* When I say choose which one you want to use for monitor, that means connect your monitor to the chosen one, the other will either sit there, or you can choose DUAL SPI mode, and use them both for graphics.
* You should have enough IRQ's for them, If not, then remove a usb drive or something that is plug and play that you dont need.

no they both have different speeds and are not compatible.

You probably shouldn't, but you can.
