Does your CPU have an 800MHz FSB? If so, you're going to reduce performance by using the slower RAM. 800MHz FSB CPUs run RAM at 400MHz (PC3200), and 533MHz FSB CPUs run the RAM at 333MHz (PC2700). Now if you have a CPU that uses a 533MHz FSB, the RAM will run at 333MHz, even if it's rated to run at 400MHz, so then it wouldnt matter what you get.
Edit: This is just based off of a VERY quick check on Google, but it looks like the 2.93GHz Pentium4 CPUs have a 533MHz FSB, which makes sense since 800MHz FSB CPUs have an even number for it's frequency, like 2.8GHz or 3.0GHz and not 2.93GHz (due to the way multipliers and FSB works out). So you should be okay getting the PC2700 without worrying about loss of performance.
