   First of all your memory is probably pc3200. There is no such thing as   
   PC3000.   
      
   For an easy way to remember memory speeds, divide the "PC" number by 8.   
      
   Ie   
   PC4200 / 8 = 533 Mhz   
   PC3200 / 8 = 400 Mhz   
   PC2700 / 8 = 333 Mhz   
   PC2100 / 8 = 266 Mhz   
      
   That being said - your memory will always run as fast as the slowest   
   bank. IE a PC2100 dimm working with a PC 3200 dimm - both will run at 2100.   
      
   In your case it does not matter however. a 1.2 Ghz machine will have a   
   slower system bus than your memory can support anyway. The only problems   
   you *may* encounter are ram incompatibility. But by all means, give it a   
   shot. It only takes a second to install.
