Id stay away from locked stuff whenever possible. Why run yer processer at 500 if you can run it fine at 700, 800? Im running my old k6-2 400 at 500 for over a year and half (at 2.8 core voltage!!;-) and it is still alive, crunching seti@home packets 24*7. All you need is proper cooling... And the cpu would rather crash than burn out, so no danger. If you can't find out your sys is overclocked, youd better not buy one at all;-)

by entertainment system i meant something more a bit more powerful.
;-)
like a system that:
plays cd, mp3, dvd;
rips cd, dvd;
records cd;
ah, and i can use it to browse the web, download things, read slashdot, shop online...
very entertaining. and powered by linux
