DDR2 800mhz is designed to run stably at speeds "up to" 800mhz - anything above that is a bonus.

Can't hurt it. In fact, you may be able to tighten the memory timings to something like 3-3-3-10 and pickup 2 or 3% on memory i/o. That will make little or no real world difference, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing the the memory subsystem is highly optimized.
