Any adverse effects for mixing DRAMs with different speed?

's Computer Specifications

Hi all,

Recently upgraded to 400MHz 1GB DRAM (1 SIMM), and still have the old 333MHZ
256MB installed with it.

Wondering if there are any adverse effects for mixing DRAM with different
speed other than dropping the speed to 333MHz? The new DRAM is a 400MHZ 1GB
and the old one is 333MHZ 256MB. I just wish to make the best use of
everything so I decided to keep one of the 333MHZ 256MB along with the new
400MHZ 1GB.

Thanks in advance.

You can't "upgrade" RAM - you can only use the exact type specified for your computer. Mixing RAM can lead to memory errors and lost work.

And it is probably backward compatible wiyh the slowest piece you have
installed.Which means they are all 333mhz.
I think that is the way it works.
I may be wrong.
