Normally I would say no problem. But sometimes RAM of different  
breeds can cause conflicts hardware wise. Its safest to use all the  
RAM of the same kind, spec, speed, etc.

If you do you use two different speed RAM then the slower speed is  
what will be used.

 From my experience only PC2700 DDR333 RAM is what desired in a MDD  
Dual 1.25 G4.

I never tried to put PC3200 in mine so I cannot faithfully tell you  
what would happen.

EVEN Weirder for me is I got 4 sticks of PC2700 DDR333 SDRAM all from  
the Same Company. I bought the first Two about a year later than the  
other Two. and in my System Profiler it stated the First two were  
PC2600U and the other two as PC2700. That I never figured out.

Good Luck,
