No, the kernel won't care what speed the processor is running at. [ You only
need to change kernels if you change architectures or sub-architectures, not
MHz. :-) ]

Not sure, but you're not always going to get a good result when overclocking
a box with Linux on it. Linux drives the hardware much harder than Windows
usually would, so it's more likely to barf.
Maybe it's time to get the best hardware for your most excellent OS. ;-)
