For what it's worth. I have a 350 clocked up to 450 * (4.5 x 100) and all is stable - the same was true when the system ran NT. The panic / BSOD problems that I have faced with over-clocking were always related to MOBO / memory not handling 100Mhz. I have some 450 Mhz clocked-down to 83 Mhz bus speeds for this reason.
