What's with the may fail - how about guaranteed to fail... after all it
is an MS product, and they NEVER EVER crash, oh no, far from it  ;)

On the overclocking note, it's not the best thing to do to your machine,
since in time, it will cause problems.  

If you are wanting to upgrade a machine but find a new
processor/motherboard is too costly, a little extra RAM or some
DRAM/VRAM/<whatever your card takes> for the graphics card, and a little
bit of clever setup routines will make a difference..
