the PC2700 is only rated to run at 166mhz (333mhz DDR), and the PC3200 is rated to run at 200mhz (400mhz) DDR.

Your Barton 2500+ runs on a 166mhz FSB, so either will work just fine. But if you plan on overclocking, you would definatly want to opt for the PC3200.

That 2500 has some good overclocking potential that your pc2700 ram will hold back. Also the doubling of ram will bring forth some good things if you do any kind of video editing, or game with the right games.
