I have got some newer 512 MB RAMs with the following specification:
PC2700U DDR 333Mhz CL2.5
and
400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-4-4 Kingston
Can I (for testing purposes) insert them in an older Motherboard
which only understands
PC133; PC100; PC2100; PC1600
with 200; 266 MHz FrontsideBus?
In other words are the RAMs automatically "Under"-clocked or are they
damaged in such a machine ?
RAM modules will be automatically underclocked if used on older boards.
However, you can only use 184-pin DDR DIMM modules on
motherboards which use 184-pin DDR RAM sockets. PC100 and
PC133 modules are 168-bin SDRAM ones and will NOT fit
184-pin DDR RAM sockets.
Well, they technically DO fit in the slot. But you'll let the magic
smoke out of your ram/MB, Or both it you tyr to turn it ON that way.

PC2100 modules are 184-pin DDR
ones.
