I don't see what being an imbecile has to do with it !
I try and overclock all my machines if possible.
All current motherboards can have up to 50Mhz cpu speed (on the processor
pins them selves) so the motherboard is NOT in danger. The only thing
that can happen is that the cpu melts internally. With enough cooling
and a severe test to see if the machine doesn't start to make errors
, combined with the real-life expectency of about 2-3 years before you
will replace your cpu anyway, i think overclocking is not a bad option.

I have happily overclocked 486dx2/66's to 80 and one even to 100Mhz.
My current P60 and P75 are running on 66 and 90 Mhz without problems.

I am not telling everybody should do it, but i have never had a burned out
CPU (yet) !

just my $0.02
