Sorry if this sounds dumb. A friend has a PC (P4 2GHzish, Packard Bell) which has a 256Mb DDR RAM PC2100 266MHz CL2.5, I have a spare 256MB DDR RAM PC2700 333MHz CL2.5. He has a spare RAM slot, you can see where this is leading. If I put my "faster" chip in, will it work OK? Will the system merely run the chip slower or will this cause problems. Also does it really need to be a "matched" pair? I can try it I guess, I also have a RAM testing program on CD-ROM the self-boots so I can leave that running for a while.

Thanks
