Firewire 400 to 800

Now I know that I have the IEE1394 controller for Firewire on my Asus P4P800 DL MB. The question I would like to ask is can I do anything to upgrade it's techology to enable me to use peripherals in next generation 800 Firewire

Short answer, no.. You'd be best getting a next generation PCI Firewire card, once they come out.

Don't quote me on this but surely a 800 mbps device will be compatible with a 400 mbps controller - it'll just run at the slower speed.
