PC 2700 or 3200 you should really check with your manufacture with beying new ram with an older board, also between tose times they had diffrent size ram sticks like 184 and others, my advice is, BE CAREFUL!

Also the max supported per bank. Some systems might allow 1 gig of ram but only let you put 512 per bank.
