Instability of the PC during overclocking is natural. But it is rather odd when an overclocked CPU works much slower than it's supposed to. In fact, this situation is quite typical of Intel Pentium 4 processors, although seems paradoxical at first sight.

Seen this before. Basically, the article says a P4 will throttle down when it gets over 72 deg C. That is darn hot! :Q

Yeah, after reading the whole thing, I found it's an article about cpu throttling. Does anyone actually have that problem when oc'ing? :p
