    hello, i have a dell pc that has 2x1024Mb gigs of DDR2-PC2-4300 (266mhz) ram. I was wondering if i can mixed my ddr2 rams with 2x1024Mb DDR2-PC5300-667Mhz.

    if they have no issues with your mobo yes, but they will all have to run at the speed of the slowest stick.

    What Dell system do you have. If its PC4300 ram, it should be 533mhz not 266

    i think hes mixxed up between the normal and dual data rates.

    pc3200 = 200mhz @ ddr = 400mhz (ddr)
    pc4300 = 266mhz @ ddr = 533mhz (ddr2)
