memory upgrade for dell 4500

I know this type of question is asked alot but here goes. I went to pny memory configurator to find memory compatible with 4500. It basically tells me that I can either buy pc2100 or pc2700. I currently have 256mb of pc2100 on 845ept2 mobo with a 2.0a pentium 4. If I install 256mb of pc2700 will it scale  back to 2100 and work properly, or not.
 
 
 
Please do not link to crucial or kingston memory configurator, I know how to find them. And buying from them or dell is simply not an option right now. Besides there is a pretty good price for the pc2700 module at a particular retailer available now.
 
Any help would be appreciated

    yes it does help. Makes me very happy as a matter of fact :). I know pc2100 would be more sensible, but the pc2700 is a better deal in this instance. Just wanted to make sure it would work.

     

    Thank you very much

    actually you can install a 256MB PC2700 on your system but the computer will only utilize or run in PC2100. it is better that you install 256MB PC2100 because installing PC2700 will not make any difference. Hope this info helps:smileyhappy:
