Yes. But, if your system is dual channel enabled, this RAM will not work in dual channel and it will make you single channel only if you install it, effectively bring you back down to 2 transactions per clock cycle. Not a big deal though because this is fast enough. The benefits of more memory outweigh any negatives imposed here.
I doubt your memory that is installed is 2700 - that is if you are running at 3200 speeds. That is unless it has a heat spreader on it. The Athlon 3200 + XP's were all if not almost all running with a 200 MHz BUS and at 3200 speeds.
