So how come about 50% of the people who I try to help with obscure
crashes are overclocking celerons. The problem always goes away
when they put it back to standard.

The fact that you have got away with it so far does not indicate that this 
is a reliable practice. If a 466 could be reliably run at 582 then
Intel would label them as 550 and charge more money for them.
