They should be the same if at all possible, because what will happen is the motherboard will force both pieces of memory to run at the slowest speed. So if you have PC4000 and PC3200, the MB will run both at the PC3200 speed.

Yes, you can use different speeds of RAM chips in your computer, but they will work at the lowest speed (in your case, the speed of PC3200).

Usually it will run at the speed of the slowest one, so even if you have the faster one in, it will operate at the same speed as the slow one.

u cant run ddr1 and ddr2 together ... if the 4000 is ddr1 it should be fine and if ur system only supports up to 3200 then the 4000 will just run at the slower speed ..

YES. BUT BIOS will always synchronize them to that w/ the lowest speed and highest timings.
