it wont fuck up your mobo, but you will get all kinds of errors in anything you do. return it and get the right stuff.

actaully i jus called the ram manufactor and they said most systems can run both at the same time now so i shouldnt have any problems and since they accidently put the 2700 in the case instead of 2100 just go ahead and keep it ;P

I dunno. if it works then sure keep it in. but never listen to those service fuckers. once one of them tried to sell me a 128 stick of rd 800 ram for 300 bucks :/

:D

in england, where I work anyway, PC2700 is cheaper than PC2100

The PC2700 will run at the same speed as the PC2100 because it pulls it down, this will generally cause errors, as the PC2700 isnt made to run at that speed... Also what FSB is your CPU running at,

and at ur work, maybe the pc2700 is cheaper bcuz its generic and the pc2100 isnt? or the pc2100 is higher quality

its
"Athlon M4 (Thunderbird) 650-1.4ghz 1.7-1.8V"
ok found it

Chipset 1
Model : Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AMD-761 CPU to PCI Bridge
Front Side Bus Speed : 2x 133MHz (266MHz data rate)
Total Memory : 640MB DDR-SDRAM
Memory Bus Speed : 2x 133MHz (266MHz data rate)


640mb bcuz the 512 pc2700 + 128 pc2100
