In general every technical invention is supposed to be working within
a series of limits. Your pc should work in an office which was not
heated during the night (or at least kept above freezing temp) 
but should also work on a day the sun is shining on its cabinet.
For this reason the manufacturer guarantees his products within a
certain limits.

By overclocking you are bound to touch or at least get very close
to those limits. This doesn't mean to you will burn anything but
you are simply moving in the orange zone of the RPM meter.

The past few weeks (it's summer over here) we had something
calles a heat-wave in our country. We dont have airconditioning
and all our (overclocked) machines functiones without problems.
(only thing that overheated were our modems ;-)

I have good faith in what i do, but i take full responsibility
in case something does go wrong.

Advise for all:

Just try it. If you have a cooled cpu changes are better than
90 % that your cpu can take 10-25% more cpu clock without
any problems.

It's on your own risk though and manufacturers like Intel
are building nifty things in their new cpu's (P6 eg)
so overclocking wont be possible.

IMHO this sounds like faul-play

Have fun,

Danny
