Give more info about your system and how it is set up. What CPU and motherboard do you have, what FSB are you running, did you determine your ram speed with CPU-z?
If you're running a C2D at stock speed 266MHz(x4=1066 'quad pumped') FSB and 1:1 ram ratio the Ram will run at DDR2-533, the DDR2- speed will be 2x your FSB with a 1:1 ram ratio.

It should be ok. The only thing that's really going to kill memory is running it at extremely high voltage or if it runs really hot long-term. With decent case airflow it ought to be ok, running at higher frequency alone shouldn't do any harm.

No it wont hurt it
If it posts at pc2-6400, boot into windows and run some 32mb to make sure its stable for 24/7 use.I personally would try to keep the voltage for the ram anywhere between 1.9-2.2 for 24/7.
If you get a no post at 6400, try a lower divider, or try upping the voltage. Either way, 6400 should not be very hard
