In my opinion, if you overclock using frequency and don't raise the voltage, there is absolutely nothing wrong with overclocking on any system. As with anything, you want to test thoroughly, which is easily done by using one of the many CPU performance suites out there.

I've seen odd things happen by bumping just the frequency. A Pentium that would run Prime95 for 48 straight hours and blue screen crash when transferring video via Firewire. Set the clock back to nominal and no more crashes - only change to the system.

There's no guarantee that bumping the frequency will do odd stuff; you just need to test, and when you find a strange thing, dial it back as a diagnostic. That's easier to do on a home system than a server/work system...
