How can you tell which memory frequency?

Hi all.
I'm planning an upgrade from a Pentium 4 2.4GHz to a Pentium 4 3GHz.
My motherboard can take this planned increase from 533MHz to 800MHz FSB
(it's an ASUS P4P800S) so there I'm ok.
My question is about the memory I have at the moment, whether I should
purchase new one too. Of course I will buy higher frequency DDR400 if I need
to but first I would like to verify if perhaps my present installed memory
cannot already take this higher frequency. And yes - I've lost the purchase
specs.
It's an 512MB Infineon, single-slot. It has some indications like "94V-0",
"BUDABBRA", and on the chips something like "HYB25D2568008T-7" (this can
have reading errors, these numbers are so terribly small for my weak eyes).
I checked the Infineon Website but found no conclusive answer as to the
maximum frequency it can take.
Can someone give some hints how to determine its max rated frequency, I'd
appreciate very much.

That last 8 in the part number should be the letter B (HYB25D256800BT-7 instead
of HYB25D2568008T-7). The 7 at the end indicates DDR266(PC2100). For the best
performance, you could get some DDR400(PC3200) to go with the new "800MHz FSB"
processor.

I think ADA 95 is the latest standard. You will then have some
programming to do. :-)
