Can I put pc2700 in a pc2100 supported board?

[crashed13]

I have this board http://www.aopen.com/products/mb/ax4b-533.htm It says it supports pc1600 or pc2100.

Can I put pc2700 in this motherboard and it will just down clock to pc2100?

You know like you can put pc133 in a pc100 motherboard,that kind of idea.

I found a good deal on a stick of 512 pc2700 and someone wants to buy my 256 pc2100 but I have to know if it works first.

Yes, the concept doesn't change with DDR. PC2700 is just rated to run up to a 166MHz memory bus. It can more handle a 133MHz bus.

WOW right on! I did not even know if they had the same number of pins I guess pc2700 would be alot better for overclocking too.

Do I have to take out my 256 pc2100 or can I mix them also?

You should be able to mix them, but if you try to o/c or adjust the memory timings, you will run into limitation on the slower module before the PC2700 module tops out.

Nah man try NOT to mix. Get rid of ur 2100, stick with 2700.
