don't increase voltage and you'll be fine, but if i'm right 800mhz is ddr2 and I don't think that it will work stable at 1 ghz.

900MHz?

increase the frequency slowly and you will find out when it isn't stable as it will crash rather quickly 

Obviously, but that's a lot of rebooting.

When you have to overclock RAM from 800 MHz to 1000,  just don't. 

I don't have to, I was just wondering if that much of an OC would hurt the RAM.
