Despite the popular but misguided practice of "overclocking" in the PC world, an overclock is NOT a free performance increase. You are paying for it in terms of stability and accuracy.

It just depends, there are too many factors involved to make blanket statements one way or the other. I've had great success overclocking PCs, an old Athlon XP mobile chip of mine was *still* prime stable almost 5 years after a 600 MHz overclock. Other chips (like early "Venice" core AMD) aren't as robust. You just have to be careful, research and weigh the risks. Granted -- I wouldn't try to launch the shuttle on overclocked HW.
