Yes it would be mixing them.

However, simply buying more PC2700 is not any more likely to
work with the existing PC2700, as it's still not the same
chip lots, no guarantee of same SPD programming, etc, as the
prior module- even buying a module today that is same make
and model is no guarantee of that after some time has
passed.

In other words, the ideal of matching memory is usually not
necessarily, but even if it IS the goal, buying another
PC2700 module is NOT matching memory. Matching memory is
about the timings, and buying a module with a higher rating
can only allow more versatility in setting the exact timings
needed, "IF" that is actually necessary (which it shouldn't
be, any properly engineered bios should look at both modules
and set the (s)lowest common denominator).
