I would recommend using PC800, but not with PC667 at the same time. Since ram is so inexpensive, it would be better to use just PC800 modules.

You can safely use both ram together but its not recommended
having both ram sets together will reduce system performance considerably as the pc800 RAM will only work at the same speed as the pc677 (with a possible degrade)
the only reason you would ever want to mix ram like that is for a temporary solution where you may have an application that exceeds the requirements than one of the sticks capacity
pairing any two.three or four stick is the best way to go.... .Joe said the price of ram is expensive... well this is not actually true
check out 7dayshop.com - Online Store you can get ram for pennies when you look in the correct places
shop about a little and im sure you will find something affordable
