I recently bought an ASUS 1005HA and I'm looking to upgrade the ram in it. Would it hurt the battery life or hurt the netbook itself to put 2gb's worth of DDR2 800 with tight timings in it.

it will not hurt anything besides your pocket that is if 800 mhz is more expensive , as long as it is 1.8 volts it should run but it will be downclocked to 533 mhz like all Atom netbooks.
Seriously? the atom platform will not allow for higher than 533mhz clock on the memory
i wouldnt bother unless your going to overclock it...i remember you used to be able to overclock some of the older asus netbooks but i dont know if you can with that one...maybe setfsb???
it really depends on the ram chips... the stock 512mb 8 chip ddr2 533mhz chip in my dell mini 9 used 2.1w, my new ddr2 800mhz 2gb chip with twice the ram chips uses 2.0w @ 800mhz.... so less at 533.
