Phil - Just because you don't do any serious work that requires the 
correct answer "ALL" the time, doesn't mean that other people should be 
willing to take the same chance you are.

There are (Depending on the motherboard) more problems than just the cpu 
to consider when over clocking a system. I have seen many systems where 
the cpu will handle the speed increase, but the subsystems will not work 
reliably all the time (some tape backup/floppy devices have this problem 
when a board is overclocked).

Keep in mind, it's not just the cpu that gets a speed change. There is no 
ignorance on my part, I was concerned that if he was unaware of "ALL the 
FACTS" that he could make a bad decision. 

Do you know anyone that has not been able to go from 90>120? Do you know 
anyone that has been able to do it, but has problems with other parts of 
the system?

I can answer "yes" to both questions, without any guessing on my part.

If you make money with your machine, and your name is on the product 
produced by the results of using your machine, then you most likely are 
not willing to take the risk for something that you may not see when the 
results effect you.
