PC3200 is ideally used for a speed of 200Mhz (400 FSB), not 166 (333 FSB).
PC2700 is for a FSB of 333 and PC2100 is used for a FSB of 266.
Using higher speed RAM at a lower speed won't cause any problems but running it higher than it should probably would - like the PC refusing to boot.
If you haven't cleared the CMOS already then try that.
