Yes. Both memory modules have to run at the same speed, so the faster one will operate at the speed of the slower one unless you specifically tell it otherwise in the bios, which generally isn't a good idea.

Different speeds will not have a significant effect on the overall performance of your computer. However, if you instead had one ddr-ram stick that had the strength of those two combined, then your performance would be improved.
Bottomline, you won't notice a difference with different speed ddr-ram.
Hope this answers your question

Yes, they will run. My own computer is set up with two 1 gig DIMM modules, one running at 400 Mhz. and the other at 533 Mhz. The faster DIMM will default to the speed of the slower DIMM, although you can change this (overclock) in the BIOS. Don't do this unless you have a decent brand and good cooling.

Hi. Yes it can. As previous stated it will usually run at the slower speed, but you can try the faster speed and see if it works, especially if the two speeds are 2700 and 3200. You may have to increase the voltage a tad.

Yes it will run! But it will only run at the speed of the slowest stick
Lets say for example you have 2700 speed and 3200 speed it will automatically clock to the lower speed by default so you will end up with 2700 speed.
hope this helps...

Hi, Yes! the ram suppose to run well enough for your computer, but it will run at the lowest speed provided. So to say your Ram was 1Gb and 256mb, the 1gb ram will run at 256mb speed so the total speed you will gain is 512mb (256mb each). Then instead of having 2 different that the one is slow, better use 1 stick that is good. But if its 1gb and 1gb, then the speed will go to 2gb for total. =) hope you'll satisfy with this..

yes.. no issues the speed of the higher memory will be degraded to that already inside the computer with the lower speed.. basically you wont find much difference

No. If at all.
