You'll have 768 of PC2100. The faster always gets downclocked by the slower. There's a difference, but it's hardly what I'd call "noticeable." But, I have been using pc2100 for some time now, so someone who has a PC chock full of 2700 or has upgraded from 2100 might be better to tell you the difference. PC2100 has a speed of 266Mhz, and PC2700 has a speed of 333 Mhz. The area of real difference comes in OC'ing. Higher RAM speeds, lower CAS latencies, these are the things that come into play when OC'ing. The higher the speed of the RAM, the more increases you can make to your CPU's FSB (stability-wise). A lower CAS latency makes for less "latency" meaning your RAM spends less time sitting on it's ass to respond. Adjusting this also risks stability issues.
Personally, I wouldn't waste my cash on another stick just to "hold over" my system until the good RAM arrived.
