check the section 'DDR and Bus Speed.' in the following article:

http://www.mpasystems.com.au/cgi-bin/mpa.pl?04_support+89_RAM Explained

Its a good piece on explaining RAM and does not waffle too much.

its best pactice to use RAM sticks that have the same speed rating.

check your motherboard documentation for which RAM is compatable with your system
