As long as you are spreading your intake over the day, it won't harm you.
However I agree with Robert that you probably don't really need that much.
Deaths from water intoxication are caused when someone drinks an enormous amount of water very quickly. For example, if you were to drink 4 of your 64 oz cups in an hour, you might wind up in trouble.
The other time when too much water is a problem, is when distance runners drink plain water rather than water with added electrolytes. They can have severe problems due to low sodium.
So, unless you are drinking your water all at once, or running a marathon, you're fine.
