When a manufacturer rates a CPU they do so at the speed at which they can 100% fully guarantee stability and compatibility. That's not to say that the CPU can't run faster. Many manufacturers are also guilty of "underclocking" chips: Marking a chips speed down, to reduce the amount of faster chips available, thus increasing the price.
Overclocking can be dangerous though, so if you're not sure what you're doing don't do it. My secondary box is a 1.2GHZ T-Bird that's been running at 1.6GHZ quite comfortably now for almost a year.
