new ram compatible with old?

[hofinder23]

can newer and faster DDR ram (EX PC3200) work in older mobo's that support lower DDR speeds (EX PC2700)?

will the ram just run at the lower speed and that's it?

Generally speaking it should work, obviously at the lower speed supported by the mobo. Just to be safe, go to the mobo manufacturer's web site and look for the memory compatibility listing.
