Will my RAM run in dual channel?

[KatLei]

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my motherboard from an ASUS P4B266 to an ASUS P4P800-E. I have two 512 MB Kingston value RAM but one is rated PC2100 and the other PC2700. My processor is a Pentium 4 1.6A (Northwood) overclocked to 2.4Ghz (150Mhz FSB). Now the PC2100 has never had a problem with the overclock and the PC2700 is essentially underclocked. I'm trying to justify not having to buy matching sticks of RAM and just wondering if in theory they would run dual channel mode?

Thanks!

If they run in single channel it's worth a try. Make sure you relax all the timings as far as possible while you try to get it going. With some luck you'll be able to tighten the timings later.
