yes but why?  My machine never crashes and its on 24/7 with extremely heavy 
use.

I have half-life/quake3/unreal tournament marathons over here where I play on 
my computer while it hosts for 5-12 people.  I do that twice or three times a 
week for 3-12 hours at a time.  The machine just grins and keeps on going.

How much faster is it going to be at 800mhz or even 900mhz then it is now?  
And how unstable will it be?  Bottom line is, I don't need to over clock it to 
feel like I got my moneys worth.  If it ain't broke it works just fins and 
should be left alone.

Don't forget that the jackasses on the online hardware review sites like 
firingsquad and such not only tell you to overclock your chips but that the 
only thing that matters when you buy a video card is how high it scores in 
3Dmark and how many fps it will put out in quake3.  In other words.  Hogwash.

Jesus saves,
Allah forgives, 
Chthulu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich.
