I look at your sig and your Limp Gawd status... and your question does not fit...

Anyway... PC 4200 is DDR 2 533mhz.

PC 3200 is "most likely" DDR 1 400mhz, but it could be DDR 2 400mhz.

If they are of the same DDR generation, yes they can run together at the speed of the lowest speed RAM.

PC3200 is DDR1 and PC4200 is DDR2.

Some motherboards have both DDR1/DDR2 slots, but you cannot use them together. You either pick one or the other.

wow...

because I thought "PC" means DDR.

and "PC2" means DDR2,

guess i'm wrong >.< alright thanks.

no, you are correct. The difference between pc4200 and pc3200 is mhz, they both are DDR1. 4200 runs at 533mhz and 3200 runs at 400mhz. And as spectrumbx said they can be run together, but they will run at the speed of the slowest stick.
