Overclocking in moderation is a good thing. It's when you realize that "hey, if I up the FSB another 10 points, I'll get 200 mhz faster." when you already have it overclocked by 500mhz is when you have a problem. Thats when you start burning up chips.
A lot of the new chips are designed to be able to be overclocked because Intel and AMD are sick of replacing chips because people overclock them and claim that it "just died" while under warranty. It has saved them somewhere in the millions last quarter alone.
