    It should work.

    Motherboards tend to have more trouble when trying to run memory at higher speed than what was included by the manufacturer.

    Yep, it should work, as i did that, i took out one of my 333 and put in a 266. You can also put in the 333 and one of the 266 together, but the memonry modules will function at the 266 speed.
