Is it safe to run my memory at 900MHz

According to the spec
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-086-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 memory runs at 800MHz, the 2GB Gold Edition runs at 5-5-5 latency timings.

The one issue I have is that with my Motherboard Abit IP35 Dark Raider the nearest option of setting the memory is with a 1.1.25 divider thus setting the
Dram Speed at 750MHz (375 MHz reading with CPU-Z).

My question is do I accept this or is it safe to run my memory at 900MHz by using a 1.1.50 divider.
 
Frequency shouldn't be a problem... aslong as it passes memtest...

Voltage is the problem... depending on the chips it uses life expectancy drops off above 2.1volts...

I thought that 2.1 to 2.2 volts was within spec
- 2.1 Volts
- 2.2V EVP**
