Newer DDR on older mobo

[Demon Bitch]

If the mobo manual says it only supports up to pc2700, can I buy pc3200 and have it run at a lower speed? or am I stuck with only buying pc2700 memory?

I run 1GB of PC2700 on my wife's KT266A system which is only rated for PC2100 with no problems. DDR is backward compatible, you should have little trouble running PC3200 on a system rated for PC2700, it'll just run at PC2700.
