All of the above is so, SO true. In fact, overclocking nowadays is a bit silly anyhow. Back in the days of 800MHz procs, overclocking to 1.0GHz was a wonderful thing. Recently, everything is so much faster, your RAM runs faster, video cards do all the hard work for gaming, that there's just not much reason to do it other than to say you've done it. If you DO want to overclock for it's own sake, get a board that supprots it well, a chip that supports it well (sometimes down to the stepping of the particular chip), get good memory, VERY good cooling, a clean power supply and THEN look into stepping it up slowly. Any straying from that path can lead to loss of equipment and moola! Bad news!
