I didn't mention this earlier but you can overclock your video card BUT not in BIOS. You will need some tools first, take a look at http://www.rage3d.com and your good to go.

How do you know when your overclocking if it's stable or too high?

When its stable it doesn't crash, freeze, etc... If it does crash, no boot up, etc... then you've gone too far.

When I do cpu overclocking I usually don't consider a system stable until I can run Prime95 hours on end without any problems. For graphics cards, I'd probably loop 3dMark2001/2003 hours on end.
