WELL IVE HAD A AMD ATHLON 2800+ M (1.8GHZ STOCK) RUNNING ANT 2.4 GHZ FOR OVER 5 YEARS ON STANDARD HEAT SINK AND IT IS USED EVERY DAY AND STILL GOING NO PROBLEM ! GIVES YOU A IDEA OF HOW LONG THE PROSSESOR WILL LAST IF YOU OVERCLOCK. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD AIR FLOW AROUND YOUR CASE .

i have been running mine at close to that (you need dual channel ram for overclocking unless youu have like 1066mhz ram)

as long as you keep it cool you should not have any issues

Its a power save feature. When the CPU is in idle the Multiplier will drop, this saves power and heat. Some systems you cant disable it.
