    Hi there. :DD

    My motherboard right now is compatible with PC2100, but I'm wondering if I can put a PC3200. I'm not sure if it will mess up my computer. :/ Any answers are greatly appreciated.

    If I can't, then I guess I will resort to buying RAM in the internet. I'm thinking about buying from Newegg. Anybody know if Newegg is reliable?

    Yeah it will work but it will only run at 2100(DDR266) and not 3200(DDR400)

    I can't see there being a problem but if in dout its always best to check your motherboard manual.If you have not got a manual find out the maker and model of your motherboard and visit the makers site to get all the recomendations for your motherboard.
