I currently have a dual 1.8GHz G5 that I'm in the repurposing. In the
process, I removed 1GB (2x512) of DDR400 RAM leaving 1GB in place. I
do have 2 extra 256MB sticks of RAM, but one is DDR 400 and the other
DDR 333. If I drop the mismatched pair in the G5, will it
automatically downclock the entire bus to 333, or will chaos ensue?
Thanks,

Minimum ram support for that system is DDR400. I have not tried this
with a G5, but based on past experience, if you install that DDR333
module in it, it will render the system either unusable or it will
ignore both of the modules and boot up and show empty slots. Most often
it wont even allow the system to boot or post thus rendering it unusable.
