I have a new computer with PC3200 DDR 400 RAM installed and I would like to know if I can use the PC2100 DDR 266 RAM that I have installed on my old computer. And if it is possible, would it degrade/underclock the performance of the PC3200 ram?

You can, but it would drag the performance of the PC3200 so that it runs like PC2100. This will also degrade the performance of your processor. I suggest you don't do this.

NO! it type of feels the answerers are puzzled between RAM (Random get good of get entry to to memory) and their pcs no longer problem-free Drives. provided that RAM purely shops non eternal ideas on the challenge of pcs operations, it truly is virtually no longer achievable to infect yet another pcs by ability of creating use of RAM. except there is the thanks to no longer unplug a RAM jointly as simutaneously plugging it into yet another workstation. As a RAM contents will be lost at the same time as the workstation is powered off. besides the actual incontrovertible reality that as a very last caution even with the undeniable fact that, pondering that you're plugging an previous RAM good right into a sparkling computing device, there's a good risk it is going to no in positive condition, that's using very reality new RAM receives more desirable each and each and every and each and each and every of the time (EDO > SDRAM > DDR RAM > DDR2 RAM ) and once you've an older RAM, it is going to no in positive condition on a extra moderen motherboard using very reality it makes use of a extra moderen type of RAM.

If your motherboard supports it, and you use dual channel for each different RAM types, then you should be cool..
