Any drawbacks combining Pc3200 and PC2700?

I overclocked my recently purchased 2500+ mobile to 2.36 Ghz (175x13.5 Vcore: 1.85) with relative ease, it won't go higher though without programs locking up at times. So I decided I had maxed my overclock and seeing as how the FSB isn't that high I tried putting in my old PC2700 Samsung memory in there and it worked like a charm! I boosted my results in 3DMark03 and Aquamark3 so I think I'm sticking with it.

My question now is this: Do you think I will run into any performance issues when combining PC3200 with PC2700 memory? The former is a 512MB module and the latter a 256MB module. They are set at 2,5-3-3-7 and 350mhz. Makers are TwinMos and Samsung, respectively. See other specs below.
 
The same chips? The Samsung 2700 and 3200 you mean? Well, the 512 module is a Twinmos one and I'm now running two Samsung 256MB PC2700 sticks together with the Twinmos one at 2,5-3-3-7. I for one am happy that they manage 350mhz!
