Would a 2GB @800MHz work on a netbook that has 1GB @1.6GHz before?

Hello! I have a HP Mini 1012TU net book with 32-bit Windows 7 starter installed. It has a 1GB 200-pin DDR2 @1.6GHz RAM inside but it is slow for me to use. I want to confirm if a 2GB 200-pin DDR2 RAM @800MHz will work on it because the item would be shipped from overseas from our country and it would be hassle if a problem will occur. Any relevant answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It should. Sometime DDR2 RAM is advertised as 800MHz or 1,600MHz. That is because DDR means Double Data Rate; 1,600MHz is double 800MHz.
