Motherboard supports PC2700(DDR333)/ PC2100/(DDR266) memory. I want upgrade
memory and install 1GB stick.
Is there any advantages if to install PC3200 400mhz 1GB DDR NON-ECC CL3
(3-3-3) DIMM? (400MH is backward compatible)

Regards.

The advantage of installing PC3200 RAM into a PC2700/PC2100 motherboard is
similar to the advantage of putting size-10 shoes onto size-6 feet --
emotional value only.

so, no any advantages, even minimal?

Thanks.

Nope, the only possible advantage may be price, IF a particular speed is
predominately available and the other is more rare.

You'd be lucky if the machine even booted, when you install RAM that
the motherboard doesn't support.

I doubt the machine would even boot.

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.

If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

Belarc Advisor

Unlimited Possibilities' AIDA32

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (www.crucial.com) has a database
to help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model
computer and/or motherboard. (Incidentally, Crucial is the only company
from which I ever buy RAM. I've never been disappointed.)
