Checking out the DDR details on Wikipedia, all DDR RAM is the same it's just
the certified frequency that matters. The current stick is a single DDR-400
or PC-3200, so it needs to be a PC-3200 stick if I keep the current one in.
If someone (or you) have more RAM in a slightly slower configuration, then
I suspect that's probably okay, I put the new sticks in a take the older one
out.
