You can mix different speeds too, but you will have to run the RAM at the speed of the slowest stick. So if you have two 533 sticks and one 400 stick, you'll want to run it all at 400. But yeah, there's no technical issue with that so long as you have a third slot to plug the other stick into. Also, dual channel and CAS latency 2 don't seem to like each other very much, so run the RAM at 2.5 to avoid stability issues.[QUOTE]

Do you really have much choice? AFAIK you MUST run at the lowest speed.
