If I have three memory sticks, each one is 512 MB DDR, yet one is running at a speed of 266 Mhz while the other two are running at a speed of 400 Mhz, can I use them all at the same time?

If I can, will the slower stick slow down the other two sticks--kind of like "you're only as strong as your weakest link"--or will each stick run at it's own speed?

I ask because I have a leftover 512 DDR (266 Mhz) stick from a computer and am wondering if I should add it to my home computer which already has two sticks of 512 DDR (400 Mhz).

thanks,
mike.

to my knowledge...ram runs only as fast as the slowest stick in the chain...
