Ok. You need to check your motherboard manual to see what kind of ram it supports and what frontside bus speed it has.
If you have PC2700 in with PC3200 it will clock all the ram to the PC2700 speed so it would be a waste to get PC3200 unless it was cheaper

Well I was going to take all the PC 2700 out and buy 4 of the PC 3200 512 mgs...frontside bus is 800Mhz so will that work?
Sony says: When purchasing Random Access Memory (RAM) to install into the computer, select Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) meeting the following specifications and guidelines: DDR PC2700 64-bit 2.5 Volt Can I use PC3200 and somthing greater that 64-bit??

I wouldn't take the chance. Try contacting sony about it or getting the motherboard specs. Sometimes they tell you to put a lower speed ram in it then what it can support. I honestly have a 333MHZ FSB and I have PC3200 which is 400mhz. So I wasted money on ram I am not even running at 400mhz.
BTW PC3200: 200 Mhz x 2 = 400MHZ PC2700: 133 Mhz x 2 = 333MHZ You could try flashing the BIOS, sometimes that will allow you to run PC3200 on some boards designed for 2700
