FWIW, I' running a K6-2 500 at 550 using 4.0-STABLE and have seen no problems. make world times under a loaded X are similar to Bob's below, hardware similar too (similar reasons too:( Most of the over-clocking and AMD issues that I have experienced/heard about seem to be due to MOBO / memory rather than CPU.
