The OS is irrelevant. Yours is a *hardware* question as to whether or
not your motherboard and processor can support 400MHz FSB. You'll need
to check the manual for your motherboard to know what it supports. You
didn't tell *us* what hardware you have so no one can tell you what can
be used, but then the manual will tell you that, anyway.

windows XP can handle that ram, however there are often conflicts if the 2
memory
chips are not the same brand/ type.

You can try going into the bios with one chip installed and lowering the
speed of the ram chips, and making the LATENCY bigger (latency means delay).
Then insert the other chip back in and see if it will start. If that does
not help you
must find chips that work together... and the best way to know that is
getting the same brand.

This has little or nothing to do with WinXP, but is rather a hardware
issue.

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.

If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (www.crucial.com) has a database
to help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model
computer and/or motherboard.
