    Hi, my computer uses PC2-4200 MB/sec 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM.
    I am wondering if my ram can work for my friend's.
    It says his supports PC3200 MB/sec 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM.
    The pin numbers are same, but the speed is different. Will it be OK?

    The motherboard SHOULD be able to use it. Not 100% sure though. Just try it and if he can use it make sure he doesn't mix the ram together.

    It should be okay... normally when you mix speeds of RAM the faster will clock down to match the slower, and they will run together happily. If the voltage and timings are close enough, anyway.
