PC3200 and PC2700 compatibility

[helpmeplease_02]

Is PC3200 memory compatible with PC2700 memory? I've read mixed reviews in the past. My father has an emachine T3092. He has 1 stick of 512MB PC2700. I have 2 sticks of 512MB PC3200 that I'm not using and I'm wondering if I can drop in one or both of the PC3200 sticks.

Should work fine. Typically mis-matched memory will run at the speed of the slowest module. In fact I've done something very similar to what you're wanting to do at work... except I believe I was mixing PC2100 and PC2700 (yeah yeah... we have some ancient desktops)
