What kind of rdram can I mix?

I have an old computer that I want to put back in order for my son. It has a MSI 850E mainboard with two 128mb kingston kvr800a 16-4/128 memory sticks. I wanted to upgrade it to 512mb. As far as I can tell, these may be PC800 40ns, but I'm not sure. I have 2 samsung MR18R0828AN1-CK8 modules (PC800 45ns)  I also have some PC700 45ns ,PC711 45ns and PC600 53ns. Will the machine work properly with 2 PC800 modules @ 40ns and 2 PC800 modules @ 45ns? Can I mix PC 800, 711, 700, and 600? What problems will occur?

use the ram selector at www.kingston.com    to determine the correct ram, or look in the mobo manual

I have already looked at kingston.com, the memory is definately Kingston, but they have no listing for this model number, the have no listing for RDRAM at all, PC100,PC133,DDR,DDR2 ect. but no RDRAM. As far as the mobo at MSI, shows to be compatible with 2.5v RDRAM, but this does not answer any of my questions.
