You also never know where your hardware is within the design specs. One
person may get away with overclocking but the next person with the same
hardware may push it out of spec.
Intel was hammered over purposly mis-marking chips designed for 90/100 Mhz
to 120/133 Mhz, just because they tested "ok" at the higher speed (I had
one that wasn't "ok"). On some of your older pentiums, you can do a "cat
/proc/cpuinfo" and it will show you what "mask" was used to make the
chip. It appears Intel removed this info so they could mark the chips to
whatever they want, without people asking questions.
I'm sure different M/B manufacturers have different tolerances they try to
stay within, depending how well the want to protect their good name.
