I have an older machine. I'm planning to upgrade its RAM memory (DDR2-Synch DRAM PC3200). I mostly find memory speeds of 533, 667 and 800 mhz. Does it have a significant impact if I install cards with higher speeds?

Machine specs:

Reading the specs from your link, I presume your motherboard can take DDR2 DRAM PC3200 as the maximum speed of your memory sticks. PC3200 is memory at 400Mhz.

If you put a higher clocked memory it will work at 400Mhz. The only difference might be in the latency, but for normal people who don't work or game only benchmarks all day, there is no visible difference.

So the answer is no, you won't see any significant impact.
