Can I install 184 pin DDR 400 (PC3200) ram in a motherboard that supports 184 pin DDR 333/266 (PC2700/2100)?

I would like to upgrade my motherboard on an old Intel 2.4mhz socket 478 type and I have a gig of 184 pin DDR 400 PC3200 ram that I would like to use, but the motherboard I am looking at supports DDR333 standard. Can I use my faster ram in this motherboard? I am not sure.

You should be able to, the new RAM will just run at a slower speed to match whats onboard.

I think you can but if you are going to use more than 1 stick of ram they HAVE to match
