    There is no reason that they wont work together, if the board will support either type.
    You have to remember that the memoy will work at the lowest speed of the two if it is different.

    No, he is saying if you put PC3200 RAM in your computer, then add RAM with a lower PC number, it will run at the speed of the lesser RAM.
