YES and isn't it wonderful that BIOS does everything for you automatically. If your motherboard supports PC2-5300, the new RAM will work at that speed. Otherwise, BIOS will just clock it down to the next supported speed.

Go here and see if your motherboard can handle 5300 ram

Click on "scan my system" and if it shows 5300 as an upgrade option then your board will run it but it will run at 4200 because ram only runs at the speed of the slowest ram in the system.

it depends on your motherboard if it can support PC2-5300. consult you mother board manual for more information about its supported RAM.
