All of the memory on a motherboard will run at the speed of the slowest ram stick. So take it out you should notice a speed improvement.

it would also depend on the MoBo if its it a Dual Channel Mobo runnin say 2 slots of 256 3200 at dual it would be faster as its double the Bus witdth(128) I have experimented with it myself as I have 2 slots of 256 3200 and a slot of 256 2700 and it runs faster at 512 Dual@ 400 than 768 single@166
