Just added some ram to a friends computer. Had 1 256 pc 2700 running at 2.5. Added a 1 stick of pc 3200 (this is all I had around) that was rated at 2.5 and I guess because it was 3200 is now at 2. So 1 stick is running at 2-3-3-7 and the other at 2.5-3-3-7.

Thanks in advance, Leigh

Both sticks are running the same timing. You can't have different timings.
Whatever your BIOS/program tells you as the latencies, it is the same for both sticks.

What Lonyo said, All the memory is running at the same speed regardless.
