You didn't say what type of load you are driving. Unless your load is
puerly resistive you
need to consider power factor. RMS power is calculated by averaging
over one period so frequency does not matter.

An excellent reference is "Lessons in Electric Circuits". The chapter
on calculating power
is at http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricCircuits/AC/AC_11.html
