DDR memory question

[STang57]

is there a simple way to tell which sticks are backwards compatible? i assume not all kinds are capable of this. im looking for pc2100 and the ones higher than that seem to be cheaper or on sale more often. thanks

ya i think it should work.
PC2700 & PC3200 are backwards compatible. (i don't know about pc 2100 rams. I think they are not backwards compatible.)
I am using a PC3200 with a PC2100. Works fine

Any DDR RAM will work at a lower speed than what it's rated for. If oyu really wanted you could run PC3200 on an old Athlon 1.0 @ DDR200.
