It is possible to use pc3200 ddr ram in a PC designed for pc2700 ddr ram, but the pc3200 ram will only run at pc2700. If you want to fully exploit the pc3200 ram then you will have to buy a motherboard that will be able to support a speed equal to pc3200 or greater.

∙ 15y agoThe same type of RAM with higher speed capabilities can be used on motherboard which supports that particular memory type, but it will work to the rated speed supported by the motherboard or at the speed of the slowest memory on the memory bus.

PC5300 is more correctly "PC2-5300" and can work in a system that has "PC2-3200" RAM. As Neeraj stated, if mixed, they will operate at the speed of the slowest module. "PC-3200" RAM, however, is not compatible. PC-3200 is DDR SDRAM, having 184 pins. PC2-3200, and PC2-5300 are DDR2 SDRAM, having 240 pins. DDR and DDR2 modules are the same length, but the pins on DDR2 are smaller and the keying notch is in a slightly different position. -Jamal

∙ 16y agoAs long as your motherboard supports PC3200, yes. Find out what motherboard you have; if you self-sourced it, it'll be on the box so have a browse through the manual and it'll say what memory speeds it supports. If its a pre-built machine, e.g. Dell, HP, etc. Have a look around for the model number on their websites.
