I haven't tried it, but I suspect if you tell it to use them as DDR400,
it will either automatically pick slower timins for CAS and such, so it
will at best be rather slow DDR400 memory, or you have to make it use
slower timings to make it work.
I have used PC100 CAS 2 memory as PC133 CAS 3 memory before and that
seemed reliable.
