At the moment my PC uses 2 RAM sticks of 1 GB DDR2(frequency 400 Mhz).
I want to replace those with with 2 RAM sticks of 2GB DDR2 (frequency 800 Mhz), to be specific, i want 2 units of these:
G.SKILL 2 GB DDR2-800, F2-6400CL5S-2GBNT

If it matters, i am using windows XP SP 3 and my motherboard is AX78 from abit

My question is:
Are those RAM units compatible with my CPU? To be specific, can my CPU fully handle those RAM units to the full extend? Can it handle the frequency of the new RAM units?

I think you're referring to the old Front Side Bus speeds which are irrelevant these days. The CPUs memory controller will utilize whatever speed RAM is available.

my motherboard is a AX78 from abit, i am pretty sure it can handle those RAM units, but i actually wanted to ask if my CPU can handle properly the frequency of the new units (if it can use then to the full extend), i should have made that clear, i will try to edit my question

When i checked the specs for my motherboard i was confused aswell when it says it only accepts ddr2-667 upwards, but i checked with CPU-Z, and it really does work with DDR2-400, i can send you screenshots if you want.
Anyway, i know that there is a correlation between RAM frequency and the CPU, so i really want to make sure that my AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, can handle those RAM unites before i spend money on them. So can my CPU handle those units properly? Im sorry that i harper so much on that, but i really want to be 100% sure.
