CL speeds for memory modules

Hey All
Upgrading the memory on my notebook and the current machine has an APACER PC2100 DDR Ram 128Mb with a CL figure of 2.

I've looked at Crucial.com and the like for a new 512Mb card but most if not all i see online have a CL figure of 2.5

Question is.. Will adding the 512Mb with the CL2.5 be a waste of time as the notebook will only use the memory with the lowest CL figure ie the 128Mb (CL2) card?

I understand the meaning of CL (CAS Latency). What i need to know is will mixing two cards of different (even if very minor) CL speeds work!

all replies greatly welcome!!!
