It will work at 266 in your computer, due to BIOS settings, but may be used later in faster systems. The only problem that may arise, is that both memory modules dont like each other, but that problem may happen even if both are the same speed.That's interesting. So, although I have a 2Ghz Pentium 4, which allows just up to 266 Mhz RAM through the BIOS settings (100 MHz FSB x 2.66), I can put 333 or 400 Mhz RAM chips into that slots provided I buy all new 333 or 400 MHz RAM (1x 1024 MB or 2x 512 MB)?
