Yeah right. Do you know anything about how these chips are made? If the
yield is good then it's quite possible you have a faster chip that you
thought. The marked clock speed isn't the be all and end all of it. This
chip is running a few degrees hotter and it doesn't crash. In fact, to
the 50%(!) of people you know who are having problems, I'd say it wasn't
the overclocked chip but an overclocked PCI bus due to cheap peripheral
devices. If you are going to up the bus speed from 66MHz then make sure
your motherboard and other peripherals are reliable at that speed.

BTW anyone ever see that rant on a newsgroup by an Intel employee saying
that overclocking was a criminal offence and people who did it were
evil? The only criminal thing is Intels pricing.
