If you do overclocking right, you can get about a 15% increase in performace, at no risk to the component you're overclocking. Graphics cards are probally the easiest to overclock, since they're more resistant to heat. Simply increase the clock settings bit by bit, playtesting it for 5 minutes every time you adjust it, until you notice graphical artifacts. Then adjust the settings back a little, and do an extended playtest. If a graphics card overheats, you'll know it, because of those graphical artifacts.

50% stable, is what we shoot for, but seldom achieve. Best I ever got was 900MHz bump on a 2GHz Northwood. That was with air cooling. The low end CPU's are where the big OC's come from, because that are basicall the same parts as the high end chips. We have about 10 peeps with 50%+ OC's at the moment.
