PHEW, just read the ENTIRE thread regarding memory. It was REALLY LOOOONG and I learned a few things, but I still have a question.

I am currently running one 512mb stick of Corsair XMS PC3500.
I am going to add two 256mb Sticks of Mushkin Level 2 PC 3200 (cas2-2-2).

Should I be concerened about the Mushkin handling the O/C of my system? I am assuming that since it is rated at 200 FSB so there should be no problem, but I just want to be 100% certain before I subject them to my system and end up with 2 very expensive paperweights.

System spec's:
MoBo = EpOx 8k5a2+
CPU = AMD XP1700+b
I have my system O/C'd using the following: 175FSB x 12 Multi at 2100 mhz
NO Voltage increase

Thanks in advance

It s/b fine. When you mix similar sticks of different speeds, the faster one will default to the speed of the slower. The pc3200 @ cas 2.0 s/h no trouble at that lower FSB speed.
