I know that overclocking can cause those problems, though it might not. Think about it, if you drive your brand new camaro at 100mph every time you drive it, it will be breaking down within a few years. But if you always run it at a leasurely 35mph, it will last much longer. I agree with you about the 450mhz applications. No games are made for it I think, they want as many people to spend their money on it as they can. You could get a killer game of unreal though! Its like how most games are still being based on teh voodoo2 chipset though more advanced technologies are available.
