As long as you follow the population rules. The manual says:
Note: PC2700 maximum to 2 DIMM support only .
PC3200 maximum to 1 DIMM support only .
The manual says the memory can be run as any one of several speeds.
The DIMM has to have a speed rating greater than or equal to the
choice you make for the memory clock. So, a PC3200 stick can be
run at a PC2700 (DDR333) rate, just as easily as a PC2700 stick can.
The manual is warning about the maximum number of "banks" that
can be used, as a function of your choice of memory clock. There is
also a table in the manual, that relates what your memory clock
choices are, as a function of the processor FSB setting.
The note above can be expanded a bit (if you consult the
A7V8X-X manual, Asus rewrote the wording of this note). The limit
is two "banks" at DDR400 and four "banks" at DDR333. At rates less
than this, you can have six "banks". A bank is one side of a DIMM,
so a double sided DIMM counts as two "banks".
So, at DDR400, you may use two single sided DIMMs or one double sided
DIMM. At DDR333, you may use two double sided DIMMs, or you may
use one double sided DIMM plus two single sided DIMMs. At DDR266,
any combination of DIMM types is allowed.
So, as long as you don't try to use more sticks than the above rules
allow, your choice should be no problem. This is not usually explained
in detail on memory vendor websites, as they leave it to the customer
to read their motherboard manual.
